February 2006 - A truly special dish: Baked Ziti with Four Cheeses. The winter doldrums are well and truly here. The lovely first snowfall and wonder and excitement of Christmas are gone. The first seed catalogs are yet to arrive. What is a body to do? I am cold from my nose to my toes and deep in my soul. I cannot bear to count another gram of fat or carb. It is really easy to solve this dilemma. Into the kitchen we go to whip up a dish that will warm you from the inside out. A dish to share with family and friends and fill the house with wonderful aromas. Simply put, we all need some comfort food right now. Be warned, do not attempt this if you are dieting because you will come back for seconds!

(Some time earlier) - We decided to begin the process of publishing a book composed of the recipes on this site, with additional recipes provided by our daughter, chef Jennifer Dove. We will not be updating here until that project is finished and the book is available for sale and distribution ... sometime. Please join our update list if you wish to receive notification when we resume activity here.
