Bread-making demo delights visitors in Dauphin I’ve checked my calendar more than once this spring for when Easter arrives. It’s earlier this year — March 31 — but outside there’s no indication that green grass, daffodils and the other delights of spring will be arriving any time soon.

Citrus fruits are a treat in our apple-eating household, but come February I stock up on oranges. Oranges are usually plentiful in the stores this time of year and they’re exceptional sources of vitamin C to help get rid of a cold often visiting around now. They’re far better for us than a lot of
