Welcome back, Me!

OK, so I really have been Missing in Action for awhile.  It must be the winter blues and our human instinct to cook to fatten ourselves up in the cold.  Or it might just be because I was re-inspired by my friend Becky Denslow's blog as she cooks through the Joy of Cooking.  Whatever the reason, I am back, baby!

So, today, after a playdate at the best children's science museum ever, I am spending the afternoon baking to my heart's content. Up first are homemade French Baguettes to go with delicious beef and barley stew, a perfect combo for a 20 degree wintery day in New Hampshire.  Now, I know it is not Sunday Soup day, but tomorrow is the Superbowl, and I plan on eating junk, junk, and more junk, so for this rare occasion, we are having a Saturday Soup.

I also have homemade English muffin bread rising...one of my best friends in my favorite new cooking magazine, Cook's Country.  I will post pics and recipes shortly.  I hope your mouths are starting to water as much as mine!
