Catch Up Blog

I've neglected my blog for several days; mostly due to a poor Internet connection but have also been busy with care taking work. The poor Internet connection is something that needs to be addressed if I stay in MD long-term. Not that I spend so much time on the Internet:), but a slow connection easily doubles or triples the amount of online time.

I've taken advantage of our recent cool spell to cook/bake:)

Tuscan-Style Coffeecake is a new recipe (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/tuscan-coffeecake-recipe) I made for the Buddhist temple tea time dharma talk this past Saturday; people seemed to like it. I love any recipe involving dates and nuts:)

Alsodiscovered a wonderful Citrus-Scented Fruit & Wheat Salad recipe (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/citrus-scented-fruit-and-wheat-salad-recipe) that produces a hearty meal; I added spinach and tomato to the recipe for color contrast and to get my veggies:)
