This is just GORGEOUS Daisy! Malcolm loved it and gave it 10 stars!! I used extra mature Cheddar cheese and some French style Canadian bacon, very good though! We ate TWO bowls each with crusty bread today for lunch........and have left-overs for tomorrow too! I made this for a tag game, but cannot remember which one! Will find out and add when I post the photos! Merci encore! FT:-)
