We had a wonderful evening watching step-by step the creation of this heavenly masterpiece. The best part of the recipe is that the longer you leave it, the better it tastes. Like it matures or something. You can also store it in the freezer ahead of time.
This is the newest addition to our ward. Baby Lil, Toni and Jaron's little bub, being held nice and snug here by Sister Doig.
The best part of the evening was tasting the finished product. Look at how divine it looks - yumo.

O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada.
