When i followed you to StP I had no idea how this was going to play out,but I figured the recipes are worth it so why not?

I feel like I've made a whole new group of friends that truly support each other. I'm gobsmacked by the kindness in this group almost every day.

Hoping this goes on for years and years... Thank you, Michelle, for having the courage to start it and for making it such a success!

Raising my glass to you, Michelle! As we say in Spanish "olé tus huevos" (hooray to your balls/ovaries). As I've told you many times, I love your cooking but it's your personality than has me coming back every week! Good for you for taking the leap and smashing it!! And cheers also to all you amazing potheads in this group who keep it real every single day. You are an oasis of sanity and comfort in a world I sometimes struggle to understand or accept.
