I love food! As im writing this, I'm waiting for my Buttermilk Honey Wheat bread to finish baking and BAM it hits again me like a sack of market potatoes, I'm in love with food! This happens a few times a week, after all I cook all of my food from scratch and love doing it. Casseroles, gratins, roast meat, mexican, hearty stews and savory soups, pastries, cookies, pies and bread.... I love it all! I make all of my bread by hand. There simply is nothing like kneading a warm lump of sticky, carby goodness into a smooth ball with your bear hands. On Christmas eve, my family - all 10 of us plus our spouses and kids - enjoy a huge spread of dips, cheese, vegetables, meats and seafood for a tasty, all night, oil fondue. This meal is a tradition that has been apart of our lives ever since I was a little girl. There isn't much to it, the most complex part would be making the beer batter but we all love it and look forward to it during the year. I held a small dinner party for some family and close friends. I made all of the food myself, candies, dessert, appetizers and a main course of roasted ham and a few side dishes. The food was delicious! I moved the dinning table into the living room in front of a lit fire, it was very romantic. My guests were thrilled and we had such a wonderful time. Many brick-hard loaves of bread and meals that get tossed instead of used the next day.
