Buns That Are Hot
A bakery in Auckland was proclaimed as producing the best hot cross buns in NZ for 2022.
The judges were glowing in their praise.
The baker responsible is from Germany whose baking skills is part of a family tradition going back 600 years.
So I made enquiries. It would cost $4.50 per bun as well as $13.50 for courier and handling fees for a dozen.
I looked for alternatives not wanting just any hc bun for this special time of the year. And came up with the bakery in Waiwhetu Road, Lower Hutt.
If German baking skills is the key, this was the perfect double because this Lower Hutt bakery has Germany written all over it.
And so for a car drive and $2.50 each we got our hot cross buns this morning. Because they sell out fast each day, had to be at the shop by 9am but it was all worthwhile. Delicious. Main ingredience sour dough bread, lovely richly spiced and superbly glazed.
The Hutt Valley has its own "best hot cross buns in the nation" and at almost half the price.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT
Set the scene:
CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.
Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.
Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.
Gave me a laugh.
