The Obsession

Sitting at my desk at work, I was reflecting on the holidays and how I regret not taking many (if any!) photos of my lovely desserts, I thought about my obsession... Cookbooks.

I have a friend who works at a publishing company who luckily publishes A LOT of cookbooks. Needless to say I have over 100 cookbooks that constantly tease me with recipe ideas. I must say though as simple as it is, the Joy of Cooking is so fun to use! When I first bought it I had no idea to go about using it, egads.....no pictures?! But how was I to get inspired without wiping the drool off my face and er...page? But in a bind one day when all I had was a few ingredients, I flipped open that index and away we went, The Joy has only let me down once......we are still getting through that awkwardness......

My husband tells me to part with some but they all offer something so unique that I wouldn't know where to begin..... ME thinks he forgets sometime where the culinary concoctions that land on his dinner plate come from. AH well, he has his toys and I have mine.

Now the holidays are over I will post some lovely pictures of some food. BTW, my photography is not where my talents lie. :)
