I’ve seen the Corkcircle Wine Chiller on blogs, TV and at cooking stores and it looks like it’s a fast functioning tool.
Cookies for Grown-Ups by one of our own FOF would be a fun addition to my cookbook collection. Sometimes I open 4 cookbooks to combine a bit from each to make my own version. They usually turn out fine. I like to view unusual combinations and see where they go as in this cookbook.
