You probably think I have fallen off the face of the earth. Well, not quite, but we have had a steady stream of company and a new member added to the family. Our son, Chris and his precious, wife Katie had a baby boy (8lbs 8oz and 20" long) brought into their family yesterday. The name isn't pinned down yet but Mom & baby were doing so well that they came home from the birthing Center last night just hours after delivery. Congratulations Chris and Katie!
Well, confession time: I have not cooked a thing. When company comes to Maine from Wyoming they don't want tofu, they want lobster, so that is what I gave them. Now you have probably heard of Tofurky, but have you heard of Tofobster? Well, I am developing it and as soon as I get it perfected I will share it with you.
I went to a big indoor yard sale tonight and guess what I found? Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking for just $10. I could not resist. AS I perused the book tonight, I became exceedingly grateful that I am cooking Bill's recipes and not Julia's: Brown sauce over Calf's Brains, Veal Kidneys flamed in Brandy,
and Braised Sweet Breads. I get nauseated just looking at the recipes!
I did want to pass on a recommendation for the new "So Delicious Minis" icecream bars in the coconut almond flavor. They are dairy free and out of this world delicious. I found them at Shaws in the health food section.

So glad to here you are ok. I was concerned and planned on calling you this morning if there was not a blog written. So excited for Chris & Katie and gram and gramps! Even more excited to know you prefer Bill's healthy cookbook for Julia's but equally excited that you found the book, what a treasure. I am also excited about the new cookbook that will be coming out by Bill Irwin and Ruth Francis! Cant wait to get working on it! Love you bunches!
