Good Morning Guys!
I was just opening the blinds earlier and saw the old lady across our house is up too. The other night a police officer came over and questioned the neighborhoods whether we could help with some info and whatnot, since the old lady made a report, well twice, that someone was inside her house, but she lives alone. So it was a puzzle to her, to the officer, as no sign of forced entry apparently, nor anything stolen.
It must have been a scary experience. Alone and feeling or finding that someone walked through your house. Yikes.
Back to recipe sharing, I have steamed buns recipe today. Some that I shaped into flowers. The buns are some filled with meat while some more with sweets.
