"There are a few of my favorite things..."

This weekend has been a relaxing one, no reunions or long car trips!

I did want to tell you about this weekend's happenings...

First, if you even like wine a wee bit, you should try the Bogle Petite Syrah. It was really good last night! I could have drank the whole bottle myself! It went great with the stuffing and Prime Rib Roast I cooked for dinner.

Second, The Good Home Cookbook. I swear I am buying these for every culinary ill equiped woman for Christmas. My sister Hayley, and Alison, you guys can be sure this will be your Christmas gift, so with that said, you can gauge how much I am spending on you! This book is so very cool. It's the modern day Betty Crocker Cookbook, but with more! It has sections on Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, but also Desserts, Pies and Cakes, Breads, and Drinks. The layout makes it easy to find a good recipe fast, and the simplicity of the recipes will be appreciated by all. You know, sometime or another, everyone needs a decent, quick, Spiced Pumpkin Bread! Trust me you'll like it and use it! Easy enough for the culinarinarily challenged or the experienced chef.

Well, besides getting a new puppy this weekend, that's about it.

Have a nice week everyone. :)
