First, my apologies to each of you. My computer has been giving me fits – I guess in computer years it’s an ancient one so I’ve not been able to post anything. I do have the good recipes from the Sonrise Morning show for the past couple of weeks, but no photos. Please bear with me. One of my sons is coming over soon to hopefully fix the old girl (the computer, not me…) up.
