Since the middle of last year, Dennis and I have been delighted by creating “stacks”. Visually they are very impressive but what we have found is that you can be extremely creative in your choice of ingredients. The very first attempts were built inside of an empty 1 liter bottle…
This morning we were reading about Ale and stumbled across a recipe for Welsh Rabbit. After a little bit of debate about how it is pronounced (rarebit/rabbit) we looked it up and found that both were correct! On the surface it is basically cheese on toast right? But it is…
