I took a very nice picture of them in situ with a good shot of one of the wine bottles. The wine bottle may have caused Marie to overlook the beans which are somewhat in the background. Anyway, the beans are plainly visible at the lower left of the picture of Marie Susan and Karen.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735252693556467767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-34775115145380654402008-02-25T07:47:00.000-06:002008-02-25T07:47:00.000-06:00The bread looks amazing as does your lovely dinner...The bread looks amazing as does your lovely dinner and decadent dessert.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-46876990088341969172008-02-25T06:55:00.000-06:002008-02-25T06:55:00.000-06:00That dessert with the raspberry sauce is decadent....That dessert with the raspberry sauce is decadent.
