Back in March I took class attendance to get an idea of who was reading the site. Now that we’ve had a media blitz (that’s a fun thing to say: media blitz), I’d love for conspicuously quiet regular site readers to come out of the woodwork. New ones too. So, if you don’t mind, can you please share with us:Name:Location:How You Found The Site:Occupation:Favorite Utensil:Thanks! And old site readers, you can play too.

I also bought raw orpartially cooked bread dough from my local bakery to finish baking inmy oven so when guests arrived I was just pulling several loaves offresh baked crusty sourdough or french bread out of my oven. The housesmelled like Paradise in Paris. This was always the BEST party ever!AND we always had enough left over to send guests home with their ownjar of the amazing fish soup with a ribbon on their large Ball Jar.Occupation: retired Event PlannerFavorite Utensil: variety of sizes of good TONGS.
