Goodbye 2008...Happy New Year 2009!

In 2008, I got married. That's pretty much how I'm going to sum it up because that's the best memory I'm keeping of the whole year. While I'm not going to expound, I can safely say there hasn't been one dull moment, though I don't really want to recall a lot of them right now. I don't normally like to put pictures of myself up but this is one of my two favorite pictures of the wedding. It was taken by my super talented friend Tanya who is a wonderful photographer and big foodie (I'm not giving up on getting you to start a food blog T.)

2009 has lots of things in store mainly with setting up the new house, getting used to playing Mom to my two acquired children (henceforth to be known as B. and Miss Saffron) and to Baby Saffron when she makes her grand entrance in three months. I'll also hopefully be much more active here as I will have new and unusual cooking and pastry opportunities (more on that later) and hope to have the blog redesigned to some extent. I want to thank all of you who have dropped by or checked in with me from time to time this year since I was not around very much. I hope you all have a wonderful 2009 filled with happiness and healthiness.
