Hi there. I finally decided to give a little "how do ya do" about me. I am a new mum...well she's almost a year now and she is the love of my life. I love her a bunch.
I love the zaar. My fave cookbook is probably Bakers Best Chocolate cookbook, uma casa portuguesa, and Pillsburys complete cookbook. I love all things caramel...so if you have something with it, post it.
