(28 Cooks) Cherry Clafouti

[Guest guest]

Christiane, I just wanted to comment that this cherry clafouti looks

incredible. I'd like to try to make this and Lorri's sweet potato/pineapple

casserole dish for the holidays. They both would make great alternatives to

the usual bread pudding and yam dish thing. Wouldn't mind having some of

that pina colada trail mix too. Thanks.

 

Oh and I am VERY sorry for your loss!
