Thank you to Pete-Bakes! for a great cookbook. Since I already enjoy making great artisan breads, this will be fun to use. I've never won a cookbook before!I'll be sure to share my endeavors in the future.

Who Says Math Isn't Fun?
"I hate math!"
Oh, such dreaded words. How to get a child to do their math, understand it and stop complaining! Ever try racing through the problems with them?
Really,
On your mark
Get set
Go!
I'm guessing this technique works best with a slightly competitive child but it's worth a try....And then there's always snack time afterward....

This is Scary
What does a teenage boy make himself for lunch? He rummages around the kitchen for a while, heats up the oven and comes out bearing.....what's that??!!
I didn't make this I just grabbed it out of his hands 'cause I wanted a picture for all posterity. And proof of how much this boy eats! Yikes!

I'm Just Here for the Food
Superbowl Sunday....is it the team or the food that drives you?
For me it's all about the food although I don't mind hearing people go on about their favorite team. Backed into a corner, I almost always cheer for the underdog. Second thought, I ALWAYS cheer for the underdog. I can't help myself. It just seems like they need me! Can you tell that my gifts are compassion and mercy?
While those boys are out there passing that football across the grass, I'm curious, what are you passing around the livingroom today?
I decided to spend the day in the kitchen for the most part working on something delicious.
Winter and I have had a parting of ways. We aren't on the best terms anymore (were we ever?!) so I'm rebelling and focusing all of my cooking energies on the southern delicacies I've always known and loved.
How about some home cookin'? Are you thinking BBQ shrimp? This isn't the traditional BBQ sauce (although that can be mighty tasty too). This version is full of.......something too fattening to discuss in public... in quantities too obscene to mention. (butter, shhh) Let's just say Paula Dean would be proud of me today. We'll leave it at that. It is loaded with fresh garlic too and other yummy spices. All of this adds up to a New Orleans delicacy too good to pass....quarterback or not.
And to sop up the gravy?
What else:
A sweet little artesian bread...not sweet as in Hawaiian but sweet as in, "I can make you feel better about the other team winning."
Turns out that's just what I needed. The underdog is still the underdog. And they still need me, even though I'm no great sports fan.
At least the food was a winner.

Superbowl Sunday: Food!
I'm only here for the food. I like hearing everyone else talk about their favorite team but I want to work in the kitchen making something wonderfully delicious.
Today was a southern event for me. Winter and I aren't on the best terms anymore (were we ever?!) so it was time I pulled out my secret weapon: food that makes me feel like I'm somewhere warmer. I can play mind games when I need to......
Are you thinking BBQ Shrimp? This isn't even related to traditional BBQ sauce (which can also be amazingly delicious). The concoction you're looking at here (and salivating over) is a delightful mix of something too fattening to talk about in public in quantities which fall off the rhict
