A Wafer of Gold-Wausome Wafers Cheese Crisps
Do you ever get too old to look for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? The arch of the colors make you smile and almost hypnotically start to daydream. I think that is the feeling I now get when I see anything to do with cheese from Wisconsin. My cheese-cation last …
