"I've always thought my flowers had souls. . . they seem like real people to me. I've seen the roses rubbing their cheeks together as if they loved eachother, and the forget-me-nots are little blue-eyed children, half afraid of rest." 'Lavender and Old Lace' ~Myrtle Reed~

The Cookbook Challenge: An Update

The cookbooks arrived and I am very pleased with the chocolate one. I have already made several of the recipes, the results have been wonderful. After looking through all of the recipes in the book, I am beginning to wonder if perhaps a year would be a better length of time in which to make all my chocolate desserts. At one recipe a week I could be finishing up next July!

I have decided not to work through the salad cookbook because, well, the recipes just don't look that appetizing and you lose some of the joy of cooking if you don't like the thing that you make. So that is that, the salad cookbook will join the pile of books to be brought to the used book store, maybe someone else will find the recipes more appetizing than I did.
