cooking can be fun

I have been doing sone cooking lately. I dont mean the type of cooking we all must do so we can have food on the table for dinner but cooking for fun. And if you know me you know that i dont often put cooking and fun in the same breath. I know shame on me for being like that.
This first recipe is Latkes which are apparently a jewish food. I saw an old program of martha stewart where she made these. Then 2paw had a photo of some she had made on her blog after watching the same program so I thought I should give them a go. And I was really impressed with the results. The kids loved them too.

 

 

And so I move onto the bread section of my cooking. Now bread is something I do love to cook and do think of as fun. For lunch today I decided to make rolls and I must say they were fabulous. So light and soft with that ever sought after crispy crust. YUMMY. A good looking loaf or roll never fails to impress me and even get a little excited. There is still hope for me where cooking is concerned, now all I have to do is get excited about cooking other foods.

 

 

Gerry's birthday

It has rolled around again. Gerry, my Hubbie, has had his birthday and we were so luck with the weather for the day that we decided to go out for lunch. He headed off on his bike and rode to this wonderful spot for lunch. I of course drove with the kids.
This beautiful spot is further down the channel from us at a place called Peppermint bay. We sat out side and enjoyed the view and the lovely food.
