Start your engines...

So I'm in. I start December 2nd. I've been bordering on giddy all day (as giddy as I can get) and am currently drinking a celebratory glass of shiraz (or three). More to come as I dawn the jacket and pants and head into the classroom...

Obama gets baked...

This just seemed too good to pass up. It's a perfect of blend of what this blog aims to be about.

The Feel Good Bakery in San Francisco is producing loaves of bread graced by the face of our next president. Oh, and there are McCain loaves, as well.

I did a little research and found that they're hitting each loaf with black onyx cocoa powder through a stencil. I'll try to find some today. Look for dove loaves and peace bread in the coming days.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween. Keep your eyes open for Thanksgiving recipes that I can put on here. Every little bit helps!
