MENU FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 28, 2009

Well, Christmas is over for another year. I always miss the music…Rumor has it that the kids all survived, as did their parents and things should calm down for another year. The great thought of the season, however came from the 3 ½ year old. Told by his mother he couldn’t play with something at that moment in time, he queried as to whether she or Santa had given it to him. His logic was that if it came from Mom, he’d have to obey – but if it came from Santa it was out of her jurisdiction…Kid’s going to be a very wealthy lawyer.

Looking forwards to t he New Year with hopes that the economy will stabilize and things will be a bit easier for all this year. And, of course, looking forward to new dishes and tastes and techniques. To paraphrase Jefferson - we may be somewhat older individuals, but we are still young cooks. There is still so much to learn and experience.

Happy New Year to all of my friends who read this Blog. I hope you get tons of ideas and inspirations from it in this coming year!
