  8. I have been off the grid as I startiedto pack up my kitchen 3 weeks ago in preparation for driving home to Colorado. I will enjoy making the rounds of everyone's posts today to see what you made for this final month. It has been a wonderful experience for me and I have learned so much. I have already shared some private thoughts with Andrea to express what cooking with her in FFWD and in CCC has meant to me. So won't drag that out...emotional though I could be. When I return home I will be making lunch for a 86th birthday of a good friend. I am serving the tomato puff pastry tart and either lentil soup or salad depending on the weather.! Hugs to all.

  9. Apologies for the lateness of my post. Today was the first day I was able to sit at my desk long enough to write. I'm healing fast, though! I can't believe we've cooked through the whole book, collectively. It's been a wonderful journey! Thanks so much to Andrea for leading us through it. :)
