apple cheddar beer bread 3

Jul

2012

That kind of title gets your attention, doesn’t it? It certainly gets mine, and I’m the one who made the bread.

This will hopefully be the first of an ongoing feature on people we meet who are using their love of good food to improve the world around them and take care of their friends. A few weeks ago, our friend Sondra (Sonnie) had a bunch of us over for fastnachts. If you have no idea...
