Tonight: Cookies, Spoonbread and a Dragon...

Gina made a batch of Paula Dean's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies. Yum! Tomorrow she's planning on some of her homemade zucchini bread.

Dinner was simple: skillet-cooked cheddarwursts, Texas-style spoonbread with plenty of cheese, green chilies, garlic and oregano, and coleslaw. The spoonbread was almost verbatim out of the Texas the Beautiful Cookbook and we really liked it. It'll be a make-again.

We just caught the tail end of the 2004 World Pastry Championships and the newcomer team, South Korea, did the most amazing sugar piece that included a huge (for a sugar piece) red dragon. They easily won that portion of the competition.

Tomorrow's a more ambitious dinner...Sephardic leek-and-cheese casserole (quejado de puerro con queso), a Murcian salad (salada murciana), and garlic bread.

And some work on entries for the Ultimate Recipe Showdown 3...
