When I conducted an online survey to try to determine who was reading DelSo, almost half of the respondents indicated they had located my little blog via AOA. Again, I sincerely thank you for the linkage.

The cakes from Crisan are awesome! They're fancy enough to impress your guests (as well as delicious) but also quite affordable compared to the single serving sized treats that they offer for immediate consumption (not that we don't treat ourselves to those treats on a regular basis anyway, amirite?)
