#32. Yum!
Love your list! Congrats to Spain! They were the better team yesterday.
Hi Misty,
I loved reading that Lemon Curd was one of the things you are grateful for. I have yet to meet someone who truly understands the loving process in making this topping. I have an amazing recipe from Martha Stewart that has a lemon cake with layers of lemon curd and lemon meringue icing!!! Okay I have to stop I might just get up and bake one right now. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading more of your blog.
