Folks, I’m ending my Post-a-Day for a Menu for Hope<\/strong> on a great feeling – we’ve made a difference!! I hope whoever wins my prize enjoys it! On Sunday we head to Puglia<\/a> to visit my in-laws and eat way too much great Italian food. I’m taking a break from blogging (though I’ll probably be reading) until Jan. 2<\/strong>.
