The Great Southeast Portland Baking Show

Sue has been battling a cold for weeks now, and despite our efforts to keep germs at bay, today I seem to be succumbing to it myself. Her teenaged granddaughter visited in the afternoon while I drove out to visit Donna Hayes, and when I came back to her house shivering after driving through gray, wet streets in a chill wind, she and Jess had been kneading dough together, and Sue was pulling these perfect little breast-like mounds of goodness out of a hot oven to serve with chicken soup. Heaven itself.
