As Winter Approaches

Cold weather makes me want to start baking. I have recipies for bread, for cake, for pie. And of course, I have a trove of cookie recipies.

What else do I want to cook?

I have a lovely recipie for oxtail soup. It takes two days to make, and now I have two refrigerators, so I can let it chill overnight to de-fat. I also turned my recipie for chile verde into a really good green chile stew. My beef stew I just do in the crock pot.

What shall I cook?

I collect recipies. I keep notebooks of them. Many I have never tried. Sometimes I deliberately take out and try something new. Sometimes I'm inspired to see what I can do with what I have on hand. Sara told me about a web site where you put in the ingredients you have available and it gives you recipies using those items. I've got to ask her for the web address on that one.

I need to find a good recipie for rabbit stew. Of course, a lot of people don't like hare in their stew. Sorry, I just had to!
