My dear friend Mardi Port and I have such fun with every issue of CW. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, a long way from me in British Columbia. But we wait until both our issues arrive before we start reading. We talk on the phone about the articles, cook the recipes simultaneously—and even held our very own “International Dog Cake Competition” using your Puppy Dog Cake (Feb/Mar, recipe online). Not too surprisingly, Mardi won Best in U.S., and I won Best in Canada! —Lisa Mawle, Gibsons, British Columbia
