I finally got through with reading my BP Digests from this past weekend and
couldn't help but comment on the terra cotta crumb cakes with glazing ---
mmm, mmm, good. Too bad I can't see them (a drawback of the Digest), but
I'm sure they look delicious! And just in time for the holidays!

p.s. Anne Sullivan: I'm doing some cursory research on the I&M canal
myself, do you think your friend would mind if I picked his/her brain? I
promise it won't hurt!
