It is tough all around the world with the financial crisis hitting hard. but you are in a special place and in food service so you will be ok. people have to eat and you guys have great food and great prices. <br />may the year ahead be a blessing, and maybe if things work out i will see you for a bit next year. <br />can you let me know of the family B & B name so i can look it up for accommodation choices. <br />thanks for the great updates on life in the Italian Riviera. <br />take care of yourself, DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07833556616182745200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617954707278289869.post-24376430922976555742013-05-07T11:36:09.741+02:002013-05-07T11:36:09.741+02:00I used this recipe for the chocolate stout cake, b...I used this recipe for the chocolate stout cake, but used greek yogurt instead of sour cream, a chopped up chocolate Lindt easter egg and no cocoa powder, and a whole bottle of chocolate stout :)<br />http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/chocolate-guinness-cake-3086Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105871872063475355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617954707278289869.post-22553751075050922622013-05-06T05:03:41.399+02:002013-05-06T05:03:41.399+02:00Delighted that you are recovering very well and lo...Delighted that you are recovering very well and looking forward to seeing you.<br /><br />And can I get the recipe for the stout cupcakes?<br /><br />JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218910196661465526noreply@blogger.com
