As I biked home tonight on the last day of November through high winds and snow flurries, it suddenly seemed appropriate to start thinking about holiday cookie baking.

Monthly Archives: November 2010One of the things I love most about Thanksgiving, besides family and friends of course, is the opportunity to try new recipes.

My mother always makes the turkey and I always make this […] show 5 comments interesting, i never thought to add molasses to pumpkin pie. can’t wait to try that ingredient. i also noticed an early post wherein you talked about your librarianship coursework. good for you. librarians rock. i’m one too.

The autumn leaves that brightly line our streets are quickly falling and the time change marks the point in the year that I begin to plot out my days around maximizing daylight. However, this mid-November has also greeted us with unseasonably warm temperatures, causing a brief interlude of bare legs and patio dining. I spent last weekend […] show 8 comments Elegant and easy – what could be better? You could even chop the mushrooms a bit to make sort of a rustic “spread” and top toasted baguette with them to make sort of a Crostini as an appetizer with these Mushrooms. Ooooh, be still my beating heart. *smile* Elegant and easy – what could be better?
