Congratulations, Sally!
Nice job! I wanted to make a suggestion for next year- would be nice if you could pick your favorite blog posts and list them in January 2012, maybe one favorite for each month of the year?
not sure if it would be too hard to do. Anyway, hope you are having a fun time in your trip

Clearly, I need to try making fromage blanc! I am finally making an attempt at a recipe from Tartine Bread. I have a cast iron pan that should be about the right size, and I’m hoping I don’t end up with burn scars on my arms! Happy New Year to you!
