when many of us have gift-giving in our near future. So, whatcha got?
This year, I'm hoping to get it together in time to print up a little recipe book of some of my favorite dishes and baked goods. I had hoped to manage it last year, but ended up doing an abbreviated version: cookies, candy and/or sweet breads with their recipes attached.
But, this year, I really want to make something more like a real recipe book. Problem is, I never measure when I cook, and, unless I'm baking, I don't follow someone else's recipe. So, it will be a pain to actually try to measure ingredients to make up the recipes. Ah, well.
I have some WONDERFUL old "Ladies' magazines" from, like, my great-grandmother's time that I want to copy some pages from, for a bit of nostalgia. There's one little recipe book entitled "All New Recipes That Men Like." Really!!
I'm something of a cumpulsive cook (and a very good one, I must say) so my brain is stuffed with possibilities.
What is anyone else thinking of making this year?

Tue, November 7, 2006 - 8:17 PMCookbooks are always good, especially time honored recipes. I like your idea of adding vintage designs and sayings.
I am probably going to make mosaic Christmas ornaments. I had fun experimenting with glass in the summertime and want to try the ornies. I found plastic balls on eBay, so they shouldn't be too heavy. -
