  Mmm.. Holiday baking!
  
  Oh how I love the holiday season! I am still eating the leftovers from
  Thanksgiving, we had an excellent dinner this year. I made the Turkey
  and usual staples, but also tried out a few new recipes. Check out my
  Facebook profile for the tasty Cranberry Chutney I made, the recipe
  comes from my friend Angela Haxton. I am usually not one for cranberry
  sauce but this was so good I had seconds.
  
  Thanks, Angela! This is the first time I made Cranberry Chutney and it
  was out of this world!
  
  The bakery has been quite busy, I guess even with the economic
  situation people still can't refuse a warm batch of cookies! I have
  been searching the web for some new Christmas recipes and came across
  a great blog titled Rock Recipes (http://rockrecipes.blogspot.com) The
  ginger bread houses featured on Rock Recipes are amazing, I am
  definitely going to try it out. Maybe I can get the book club girls to
  help out as one of our adventures!
  
  Speaking of book club adventures, I had so much fun pole dancing the
  other day! I think I am going to take it up, like maybe take classes
  once a week or so just for fun. It is such a good workout and totally
  boosts the confidence.
  
  Well, off to the bakery as usual. I am still looking for some new
  holiday recipes, let me know if you have any suggestions!

  Hey Amy. Thanks so much for the plug for my Rock Recipes Blog. I have posted several photographs of my gingerbread houses from years past as well as a couple of photo slideshows demonstrating how they were constructed. Due to great demand I have also posted some detailed instructions on how to make your own lighted gingerbread house. Find it all at http://www.rockrecipes.blogspot.com All the best, Barry. posted by barryparsons 11 months ago flag

  Wow, I don’t even know what day it is I’ve been so busy lately.  From baking my pear tart with Ramon Perez to making special strawberry shortcake for my coworker’s birthday, I’ve just been non-stop.  Not to mention trying to keep up with Gabe’s schedule and making great dinners, like my signature pasta with fresh veggies, for the two of us.
  
  Speaking of Gabe, our situation is becoming increasingly frustrating.  I just feel like I’m in an infinite holding pattern.  We’ve tried so many different tactics that I’m starting to loose faith in the science, or chemistry, angle of this problem.  It’s so sad that a thing like the birth of a child can be converted from a situation of love to a monotonous science experiment.  Another friend suggested following the moon phases.  Why not?
  
  Book club has been such a great relief from my day-to-day routine with Gabe and the bakery.  Book club was always fun with Laura and Joanna, but Lizzie really adds a different element and perspective to our little group.  I feel so close to her, I can hardly believe she moved here only a couple of weeks ago!
  
  Speaking of Lizzie, I think that’s her at the door.  She’s coming over to get an auxiliary baking lesson.  She wants to learn to make an Italian dish to make for Mike as a surprise.  How cute!  Okay, well see ya later…

  Amy- I loved the pear tart recipe! I made it yesterday, it was delicious! I had to keep watching the behind the scenes with the recipe over and over but it was really easy and nice to watch you guys make it while I gave it a try. Thanks! posted by RLarner 12 months ago flag

  Bread and Meatballs
  
  I tried out my new recipe for cheddar cheese bread today and it was a big hit!  I saved the leftovers for the girls.  I'm sure they'll love it.
  
  I think I'm going to add it to the regular menu.  Any ideas for what I should call it?  I think I'd want to play on the "cheese" factor idea.  I don't know, I bet you guys could come up with something good.
  
  Still nothing on the baby front.  Gabe has mentioned giving it up, but we're not ready to stop trying yet.  It'll happen.  I know it.
  
  I'm so excited for the show premiere!  That water was incredibly cold, but I felt like I could swim anywhere I wanted.  I know, I know, we were supposed to be surfing, but I spent most of my time under water.  Hey, maybe I'll try scuba diving.  That's probably more my speed.  I wonder if I could find a book that would lead to that adventure?
  
  Nah, I like not knowing what'll be next.  I bet we all have something in mind for the next time we meet, but we'll probably come up with even better ideas once we're together.  Me and the 'book club' ladies...we make a good team.
  
  Oops.  Gotta go finish dinner.  I'm a bad wife - just made spaghetti and meatballs.  But hey, I made the sauce myself.  That counts for something, right?

  My sister told me that she has a little bit different recipe that she considers "health food." I mean, it probably tastes a lot different, but I still think it delicious. posted by cholered 12 months ago flag
