Homemade Pretzel Knots

in #food2 months ago

Hello!

Another rainy day here, and cold. Boo-hoo. My sweater couldn't warm me earlier, as I stood by my youngest, waiting for the school bell to go off. Really not fun 😅

For sure I haven't been feeling 100% since yesterday. Been sneezing a lot and had to take Nyquil overnight as the throat started to tingle and raspy. Meh! And at the moment? I feel kinda dizzy 🤪

How's your Monday going?

Anyone's using Moneygram here, btw? It's been down since Saturday for me. Am not too fond using PayPal as the fee is rather high, but with Moneygram taking vacation (🤣🤣🤣🤣), seems like PayPal will be returning to me 😅 Do you send $ internationally? What service do you use?
Today's share is Pretzel Knots! 😍
