Goodness! I can't believe I am fist to post a comment here, Miss'R. I am going to send this recipe to my friend and ask her to make it for me. I cook lots, but do not bake. Maybe I should start? I got here by way of Sheila, Blue The Spa Girl's mother. Your site is a veritable gold mine of culinary delights.
You said in your comment that the days were getting shorter. So I says to myself, I says, "Hey. That chick must be from down under." And so it is that you are. Cheers!
