Here We Go!

Head Sista' (and I think we all know who I am talking about) wanted to start our cooking in April - it appears she (and she may not be alone) has jump started - but we will not hold that against her - ANYWAY - here is how I think we should play the game - if you disagree, let me know. The chosen recipe will be listed on a Sunday date and you have the following week to try it and post your experiences (ie: too hard to assemble, tasted bad, or if you lovesit! - whatever). I want this to be fun, not a have to kind of thing. So we will cook out of Dorie Greenspan's Baking from My Home to Yours and I believe we all have Ina Garten's Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home, or you can write a recipe in the blog - post it and we can try that as well - whatever we want to try - let's do it. I also loved Haute's review of the Fried Green Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich - I want that!

I digress - here is the plan:

April 5th - Cafe Volcano Cookies pg 153 - from the Baking Cookbook chosen by Haute. How do you choose something without a picture? I get sucked in by the pictures!
April 12th - The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart pg 331 - from the Baking Cookbook chosen by CB - I am getting my tart pan THIS weekend.
April 19th - Brownie Buttons pg 106 - from the Baking Cookbook chosen by MamaKathy. Three weeks before we get to the chocolate stuff - honestly I expected more from us.
April 26th - Cardamom Crumb Cake page 38 - from the Baking Cookbook chosen by ME!

Enjoy and start thinking about what you want to choose NEXT!

And keep posting - it does not have to be about cooking - tell what is going on in your life.

Love To You ALL!
