The news was on Andrew Sullivan’s blog at the Atlantic today-he’s allergic to wheat. Read about it here. And as sorry as I am, because sometimes I’d like to eat good ol’ pizza and sling back a few good old American cheap beers every once in a while, I’m not sorry that he’ll soon be feeling better and will figure out how to lead a very rich wheat-free life.

Last Saturday was neighborhood yard sale day in my ‘hood. We can’t resist a yard sale, never mind a whole neighborhood full of them. Not only were there a lot of big sales, but there were a bunch of stuff that people put to the curb with a simple for sale sign on it. That’s the way that we got a Webber Gas Grill for $25! The grill is superb. But even more superb is the fact that the people selling the grill came out to talk to us. Next thing you know, we’re talking locavore food, raw milk deliveries and stay-at-home momming. The mom gave me this book to read and I’m so glad, in fact, I can’t really leave it alone. Not only does it have great recipes, but in all the margins of the book it has bits and pieces of research pertinent to the topic of the page. I’m hooked, I’m sold, I’m ordering my own copy off of Amazon right now! So can you, you won’t be sorry:)

Little boys are really something else. Mine is no different. He likes keeping bugs as pets, crazy dancing, anything with a motor and so on. For the wedding show last week I made a bunch of dummy cakes, which are styrofoam covered in royal icing. Every time he saw me working on the cakes he would say, “Yummmmm, cake”. As the son of a pastry chef he is kind of a cake fan.
On the day before the show the cakes were still firming up in my office. I didn’t really think much of it. My son came up to me and said, “Cake-delicious”. I went into my office only to find a big bite taken out of one of my cakes. Goes to show that even styrofoam does not keep my son from enjoying a bite of cake!

Almost 6 weeks ago, our new daughter Nicole was born weighing in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces and stretching out to 20.5 inches in length. Now 6 weeks later, she is looking pretty huge, doing all sorts of age appropriate baby tricks and eating like a fiend.
Don’t be fooled, although I haven’t blogged for all these weeks, I haven’t been just sitting around. I’ve had visitors, wrangled my other three kids, participated in a cooking contest, did some farmers markets, made a lot of birthday cakes, pitched my business to some new opportunities, and joined a new farmers market that starts this week-end!
So stay tuned because I’m gearing up with new recipes for Spring as the local veggies start to come in!
