First Anniversary !

It was a year ago today that I started my blog. Hard to believe that an entire year's gone by already. Last year I first blogged about Pan Fried Dumplings and baking lots of cookies.

I haven't made those dumplings in a while and I don't know why? They're not all that hard to make and taste great!

And the cookies I made were for a co-worker who hosts Murder Mystery Programs in the library. Last January he debuted his newest one at our branch. Since the setting was a casino, I decided to make cookies in the shapes of card suits. They came out pretty good. And fast forward a year later and I find myself going from behind the scenes to being one of the characters in the next Murder Mystery program! How cool! It will be set in New Orleans (pre hurricane) and will be performed at another library in our system. I play the part of a lounge singer (thankfully I won't have to really sing). We'll even have freshly made Beignets, a Cafe Du Monde favorite. It should be a lot of fun.

And who knows what else will happen this year. There are some new restaurants we want to try and there are always new and interesting recipes out there. Two things I do know you will see more of this year are better pictures and more recipes.
