Hey, I put a comment on FB to you about the bread, but don't know if you get them into your inbox. The bread tasted GREAT! So much better than when I made the whole wheat boule version. You should definitely give it a try. Very nutty and the honey was perfect.

Hi Amy--you, along with my sister (who is also doing 1000 gifts) have inspired me to read Ann's book. I'm hoping that starting it a few months before the baby is born doesn't turn out to be something I have to put on hold, but I am very excited about starting the journey!

I have so enjoyed Ann's book, such a blessing. *LOVE* chicken lettuce wraps, and I too would like to put my request in for your version. Also, I keep forgetting to answer your question about my son's dinosaur hat...we got it at Cracker Barrel. :)
