After an ear piercing plane ride back, thanks to a pesky head cold, I'm back in Florida realizing just how much I hate cold weather. The little vacation in Virginia was good -- saw some family and folks and ran out of time to catch up with everyone. Sadly though, I cooked nothing more than a cup of tea. There just wasn't time. Not to say I didn't eat...
Oh how we stuffed our faces. For the most part, we gorged on large portions of authentic 'future-mother-in-law' Cantonese fare. I also tried my first durian which was quite the experience. I could smell it on my fingers for hours afterward. We also returned to Williamsburg to some of our favorites.
There lots of kitchen essentials under our family Christmas tree which I'm excited to play with. We also brought back enough cookies and chocolates to last until '08. Alas I didn't get to cook one Christmas cookie this year so I think I will have to make up for that this week and try out some new recipes. I don't really want to eat them, just make them. I'm making sorbets tonight -- pomegranate chambord and kumquat cardamon. I do hope my ice cream maker cooperates.
Happy '07.
