  10. I guess we like the same things, Monique. Especially those muffin liners...which, unfortunately, they don't make anymore.

    Pleased to hear Chuck Hughes is a nice guy as well as a good chef. I was rooting for him and was sorry he lost so early in the competition. It always amazes me the tiny things that cause them to be eliminated.

    As for the pizza puffs, I have a recipe (don't know if it's the same one) I got from Noble Pig and posted it last year. Will check to see if they're the same.

    We are now living freezing rain and surrounding areas with power shortage; so far so good for us.
