A slice of Alaska straight from your oven

But good sense and January temperatures tell us to shelve dreams of strolling through the coastal villages, seeing glaciers up close, and maybe even riding in a small plane. They say that everyone in Alaska has a plane in the garage to get from A to B. I have been honing up on Alaskan cruise information and even toyed with driving to the 49th state since the wonders of a trip there several years ago years ago whetted a desire to return to see and learn more about America's largest state.
