Thanks Dlyn, this will have to be my first recipe out of the 30 I need to learn this year :).
Hey D--sometimes I like to look for old friends and look who I found today! I love your blog and I am reminded of the pictures you drew of each of us that hung across our tiny dorm at Rick's. Your family looks beautiful and what fun you must be having with 3 girls! Visit my blog at www.keepingupwiththekunzs.blogspot.com
I'll be checking back often (if you don't mind)
