But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

Back in March of this year my twin brother Bob and his wife Pam hosted a Country-Western themed party where they turned their garage into a big old barn, complete with hay on the floor, decorative white lights strung along the ceiling and a roulette wheel shot station, just to name a few of the fabulous decor items they surprised us all with.

It was a wonderfully raucous evening, and Bob and Pam even got a fun young couple to come and teach us all some country line dancing. YEEHAW!

 The line dancing may not have been the prettiest thing you've ever seen but it certainly was a lot of fun and a nice way to liven up an otherwise boring winter evening.
