New Year's diets are boing.
I page through the new cookbooks (both volumes of BAKE are now in my library) and pine to be in the kitchen baking and making a mess. But the family is descending on me this coming weekend, and a big ALL-family dinner on Sunday, and I will spend this Friday baking and cooking to get ready! Get ready, set BAKE!!! The plans thus far: ***Saturday Breakfast on the Buffet--Rise and Shine after late-Friday arrivals*** Maple Date Pecan Coffee Cake (Bake vol. II) Hot Cross Buns (Bake vol. II) Fruit Salad Soft-Hard Boiled Egg Cups Fresh-squeezed Orange Juice-Coffee-Tea ***Saturday Tea*** Tea Sandwiches: Cucumber, Smoked Salmon, Roast Beef, Turkey Birthday Cake Scones (Bake vol. II) Assorted House Jams Devonshire Cream Tea Cakes: Italian Rainbow (homemade cherry jam from my tree--Bake vo. II), Pecan Tassies, Black Forest Thumbprints, Spitzbuben (homemade peach jam), Blueberry Cheesecake Macarons, Strawberry-Pineapple Swirl Macarons (homemade strawberry-pineapple jam).
