Twisty Passages

an underground tunnel with arched ceilings and walls made of weathered stone or concrete. The tunnel is illuminated by a series of evenly spaced ceiling lights that  create a sense of depth as the perspective narrows toward the end of the passage. The floor is smooth and clean, with subtle lines guiding the viewer's eye through the space. The overall atmosphere is slightly mysterious, evoking an historical or industrial setting.image via pixabay.com

Do you remember that webpage that had recommendations for how to top a block of cream cheese? Donut_princess doesn’t remember it either, but would like too! In the meantime, members are chiming in with their suggestions on cream cheese toppers and now I need to go to the grocery while humming cabbage raccoon’s inspired tune😂
