Back in the Saddle Again.

For some time, my wife and I have been busy with quite a few other issues, and we really weren't writing all that much, while our cooking had become pretty much a bare bones affair.  Things have gotten better, and I find myself returning to both kitchen and computer with renewed vigor.  Enough that I am researching a cookbook idea and the process of developing a book proposal.  The next couple of years should be pretty interesting and busy around my home...more, much more, to follow!

Chocolate Adventure Contest 2012!

It is upon us again.  Time for Scharffen Berger's annual Chocolate Adventure Contest!  Last year it was cupcakes.  I entered three recipes, but didn't win.  Pretty sure I didn't go far enough outside the box, though my co-workers at the hospital certainly enjoyed my efforts.  This year's theme is sandwich cookies, so I am again consulting with my wife, Gina, in an effort to come up with the best ideas we can.  Time will tell.
