The wreath is awesome, Lauren! I want the recipe (what did you put to keep the leaves/petals from cramming together?)

Turducken on the menu for dinner tonight during the Orange Bowl.

it's fabric twist ties, actually - i found a tutorial from gifted magazine via a pinterest link (it's on page 97 if you click on the online magazine). you cut out pairs of double-ended leaf shapes, spread them with glue, sandwich a little piece of floral wire in the middle, and then put them together and let them dry; the fabric ends up stiff enough from the glue that when you wrap them around your wreath shape (mine was a big wooden embroidery hoop) they stay put and apart on their own.

the sad thing about the stuff i made, foodwise, is that it's healthy compared to joe's side of the cooking. we had a chompy holiday.

The wreath is amazing.

I would ask for your recipe for rosemary bread, but we're on a carb fast this week, post holiday indulgence penance.
