This is great. Thanks!
Thanks for visiting my blog in March. I'm so far behind on visiting the blogs of people who have come to mine that I just now got around to coming to yours.

Michelle-You're welcome!
Angie-The recipes are worth the trouble and the spendy ingredients...it makes the end product more of a treat.
Amy-Yep, I think it's all about perspective.
Valentine-Here's a fact for you: In 2000, Mickey D's had 12,804 outlets...which says to me there is great demand for junk food. Yikes!
