CHOCOHOLICS! I have something for you!!
I have yet to discover THE formula for making the ideal post that gets noticed, but I have found that chocolate seems to get people's attention. If you're reading this, then it worked with you, right?
Perhaps chestnut potato soup isn't as enticing? I can tell you that the soup was a HUGE hit in my family. Everybody loved it.
COUNT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS - 27 DAYS. I don't know about you, but I know that we'll be having lots of get-togethers over the next month, and I am always looking for great ideas for making our guests happy. This one, I can tell you for sure is a sure fire hit.
So, tell me, is there a better combo than cheesecake and chocolate? I could argue some others, how about you?
