As I sit here, snowed in and toasty warm, with the prospect of no school or work tomorrow and the chance to snuggle up with my honeys, naturally my mind turns to...Baking! I always bake on a footloose cold winter day. The dry air is ideal for rising dough and the warmth of the oven helps heat the house. Of course, there are other ways to keep warm, but cooking up a storm during a winter storm has become a tradition around here. In case you feel inspired, here's cook's resource list, so your kitchen can get medieval. As always, please pass this list along! This information does no good just sitting here! Share, and pay it forward.
