Reading, Cooking and Eating our way into the NEW YEAR

There is always much to think about as the year begins, and after a very hectic Autumn and December,  I resolve to read and cook slower, and eat slowly.   For the Winter, we have closed the shop on Monday, altered the hours on the other days a wee bit, and as I post events for the Winter and Spring, my thoughts are leaning toward the course of health and comfort.   To compliment my desire of gentle pleasure,  I am  looking forward to January 17th, when the "Hot Chocolate Festival" begins.   A whole month of adventuring into participating venues to sample their creations.  How lovely is this idea, a small festival celebrating the ritual and tradition of this most comforting drink.  You can find more information at www.cityfood.com/hotchocolate/

Happy New Year and here's to embracing the challenges of 2015 with joyful enthusiasm.
