Dana’s Note
Dear Readers,
It’s hard not to think that your bank account may have turned into a Swiss cheese while your back is turned (if the soon to be urban legend of banks taking cheese as collateral holds any truth), but if you’re missing out on the wine and crackers, they’re right here for you. Enjoy some of these epicurean delights!
Yours, Dana.
