oh wow ... like i could just reach right into that bowl of popcorn, kim ... munch munch ... it looks sooo good!
seems like comfort food is on both our minds today ...
i made our favourite cheesy mac recipe to take to our neighbours who are grieving a loss, in hopes it gives them some comfort and nourishment ...
and if i could i would give a bowl to each and everyone suffering from the cruel devastation in haiti right now ... we could never imagine going through something like that ... i wish they never did ... how i wish them comfort ...
we are blessed that we are in a position to help ... to help haiti ...
