December 23, 2010 at 1:13 pmThis is slightly epic. And by slightly, I mean that I hope they serve this in Heaven when I get there. Now I have to go wipe drool off of my keyboard. Thanks.

Ann @ Day by Day
December 23, 2010 at 3:29 pmThe Christmas eve caramel brie with crackers and champagne sounds right up my alley. I’m so impressed. I’m going to show this to my Mom… she’s a great cook too, but she mainly sticks with the Southern basics she knows like the back of her hand. Maybe I’ll suggest we can cook some new recipes together.
