I made this wonderful tasty recipe yesterday. It really was a good day for it as it is a frozen tundra here right now. The weather forecasters said that we were going to have a warmer than usual December. LOL!! I should be a weather forecaster because I could do a better job. It was -1 degree here this morning! Burrrrrrrrrrrrr!! The average December low is supposed to be 27 degrees and the average high is 43 degrees. We are not even close to that!!
