I 

I'm making a brine tonight which I will soak my turkey in starting tomorrow morning. How exciting! It smells wonderful.

Today I went totally nuts and made potato soup, two loaves of bread and lebkuken... which is a german molasses spice cookie that my family makes. It has to soak in a rag of brandy for 3 to 4 days before I can make it into cookies.

Dieting

... probably nothing interesting for a bit

This was very fun. I used the sticky bun recipe from the bread bakers apprentice. (I'm still borrowing it from my boss but I swear he's fine with it.) The dough was so wonderful to work with, but I used over a half pound of butter just in the caramel.

I made noah a four layer birthday cake and he ate almost all of it! How is he not fat!

Some chicken chili and merlot. It's getting cold outside.

Steaks, asparagus, a nice chewy molasses and wheat loaf of bread and some beer. I'm not exactly watching my figure tonight am I?
