I was beyond excited to see my new neighbor had a whole row of them between our house and theirs. <br />Love how they prompt memories! <br />I just picked up Gather by Bill Stanley & Hayley Mason. There is a GF cracker recipe in there I am going to try. If it comes out good I will let you know. The book was actually making me salivate last night. Lots of foodie eye candy!<br />Have a great start to the week!Dawn Suzettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483805832809961369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290052487699651767.post-3653629166015819282013-06-08T13:04:37.621-03:002013-06-08T13:04:37.621-03:00Oh, fantastic!
