Oh these sound so yummy. Our Thanksgiving has been delayed until the 13th to accomodate family members travelling in from out of town. I'm going to add this to my menu! :-)
Mmm. Those look yummy!
Thanks for the recipe!
The recipe sounds good, but I really like your plate!
I like that plate, too. I don't get to use it much since it's small and I only have one.
