Were you beginning to wonder? Did you think maybe I’d just fallen off the edge of the earth? Well, I didn’t. I’m here. I’m just not really cooking much. I mean, not anything terribly interesting. The littlest one is back on a very restricted diet and all kinds of supplements – we’re [...]

Gift Idea…A Family Cookbook
Posted in Cookbook, Ideas for Your Table, tagged birthday cake, birthday party, birthday tradition, cake, family cookbook, family meal, kids, traditions on December 7, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I have some friends who like to give me a hard time about my from-scratch baking and the sometimes-semi-gourmet nature of my kids’ lunchbox contents. This post is for them. This past weekend was my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday celebration. And there had to be cake. My husband wanted to decorate a cake with our four-year-old…so they [...]

So here we go. Back to work. Yikes. It’s been about five years. On some days that feels like yesterday and, on others, it seems like a different lifetime. Generally, I am celebrating this new phase.

Mardi Gras…been there? I haven’t. And I think I’ve missed my window. At this point, the thought of braving crowds of drunken, half-dressed people battling over beads doesn’t really sound that fun.

So tonight we are going to a friend’s house for dinner. And this is one of my favorite ways to have a dinner party – semi-pot-luck.
