It's that wonderful time
of year again...for reflection and thought upon last year. It's time for the Archies - my annual review of the
past year and all the great things it offered. This idea came from Donna and it's something I've really enjoyed doing. It's basically a list of my 50 favorite things from the year.

I had completely missed your post about the Gooseberry recipe, so a much belated but heartfelt congrats! I, on occasion, make the original recipe, so I'll have to give your burrito version a try.
Yes, SKP, the meat mixture is a variation of the taco pie/salad we used to make in college. So, I'm sure you'll like it!
