We've got enough left for tonight, so if you want to taste, you'll have to hurry. It's good with ice cream, btw.<br /><br />As for a title - since its a reissue, it's doubly hard, since I already dealt with finding the 'perfect' (HA!) title once.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-8432921248651993582009-09-21T12:22:55.784-06:002009-09-21T12:22:55.784-06:00Both deserts look just great to me.

The first time I worked with a book editor, I followed most of her suggestions. I figured I was new to the game and had a lot to learn. Afterwards, I regretted some of the changes. Now I'm more assertive when I work with an editor. I agree, you have to know when to let go and when to hold on.Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-25390341160623723962009-09-21T06:31:57.170-06:002009-09-21T06:31:57.170-06:00Ok, "photo courtesy of my daughter's phon...Ok, "photo courtesy of my daughter's phone" -- by the time you put a picture on the blog, the quality isn't that different.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-67941248711532727802009-09-21T05:27:10.244-06:002009-09-21T05:27:10.244-06:00Both challah and pflaumkuchen were tasty!
