Hmmm, sounds to me like you need to make a run to the liquor store and get some bourbon to soak those dried up raisins in, plump 'em up a bit. You'll be good to go then, Sharon.
With the cooler weather coming on I imagine it will be "baking season" each week for a while. I don't bake much but I sure love a stew pot simmering on the stove during these cooler seasons, or at least the crock pot going to town, smelling up the place as delicious as fresh baking does.
