Crispy Polynesian Butterscotch Cookies
June 1, 2012
It’s fun to get together and have a theme for the get together. It’s also fun when the get together involves music, a little education and some fun. The piano teacher we go to does a music-themed Spring Fling every year. It’s fun for the kids because it gives them a chance to play music […]

Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook Project: Rhubarb Crumble with Custard Sauce

In the first year we owned the house, all sorts of things sprouted out of the ground where there appeared only to be grass and weeds.
