I’m not sure, but I think that my blog is becoming a food blog. That certainly wasn’t my intention. But during winter it seems that when I’m not at work, I’m cooking or baking. So maybe I just have a seasonal food blog. Just look over at my category cloud…Food and Drink is one of…

dinner tonight
Since I’m off today, I thought I would take the time to make a delicious soup. I found a recipe for roasted-potato fennel soup in the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. This was Ina’s first cookbook and it has many of the recipes that made her gourmet grocery store, the Barefoot Contessa, a hit in the Hamptons….
feta salsa
Happy Saturday everyone! I actually have a Saturday off work, and it’s been delightful. Greg and I went to the movies and saw the Academy Award nominated Slumdog Millionaire. It was really good.

more baking
On Thursday, I had my one day off of the week. I spent a very good portion of it in the kitchen baking. I made chocolate chip cookies and snicker doodles to take to some neighbors and to work. I also made Ina Garten's buttermilk cheddar biscuits. I have not been able to stop talking…
