It was always a nice treat having a meal brought in, but no one ever went to this extent.

Do they say much and seem to appreciate it? I would sure think that you'd get rave reviews for all the effort you go to! I was thinking of you this morning, too! Glad that it went well. Did you come in on budget, and how many leftovers did you have?<BR/> SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-35320120275022499112007-12-21T17:23:00.000-06:002007-12-21T17:23:00.000-06:00Looks lovely, and delicious!I know what you mean a...Looks lovely, and delicious!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about feeling like The Pioneer Woman.

The recipe is just slightly different than that of french bread. Typically the crust is softer and they are a bit more dense. (I worked the 3 a.m. shift at a bakery to pay bills while I finished school)<BR/><BR/>Meredith I'm so glad it went well. I had wanted to send you an email letting you know I was thinking of you, and forgot.
