… things just have me a wee bit busy right now. But just because I’ve lagged in blogging doesn’t mean I’ve stopped cooking! Made my weeknight chicken curry tonight after a wonderful long walk with B. and E.
I also made a wonderful flourless chocolate cake from a surprisingly easy Epicurious recipe. It seriously took no time, I had everything on-hand, and it is delicious. Has lasted most of the week in the fridge. Was fabulous when I got back from a long meeting last night.
I tried my hand at monkey bread, using a recipe out of one of my Virginia cookbooks, when we had some friends in town last weekend. Good for feeding a crowd, but a bit too sweet for my taste.
I’ll be back soon. Spring’s coming, and that means new food possibilities. Cheers.

That jar of chutney looks lovely. I have a bit of a thing about mango chutney – I love it with a beef curry.
I wanted to tell you about a second-hand book find of mine. I found a copy of a beautiful book called “The Virginia Housewife”. Do you know it? It was written by Mary Randolf and my copy is a facsimile of the 1824 original. I love it. It’s fascinating to read.
Enjoy the long weekend
