    Yes...not many soups are truly attractive, but it's all about the aroma and the taste, isn't it? YUM

    I agree, that poor pig in the rain was hilarious. The candy corn cake and the eggs were were so pretty. You have had a good year of fun and information. Thanks!--------

    Hey!

    I have finally gotten my computer up and running, and I am feeling sassy! ;-)

    Hope you had a good Christmas, Lynn, and am wishing you a Happy 2012, too.

    I am still wild about your candy corn dessert, but somehow I must have missed the dyed deviled eggs. How cute! And I love the flower bouquet. You do good posts!
