Since I am on spring break I am going to do a bit more cooking at home this week and try some new things. Among the new stuff will be cooking a duck that Dan got for us over Christmas break. We shoved it into the freezer and now have opportunity to make it this week. I am also going to be trying a new recipe from one of my new chocolate books I got recently.

I am also doing a bit of Foodie viewing, too...

See, I still live, breath, eat and sleep foodie endeavors daily... even when I am not here sharing it. LOL I promise to do better. Oh, and just so you know. My main computer is out of commission and I am using my hubster's until further notice so my time is limited online for a bit. Thanks for still reading in the midst of my crazy life. I think often of blogging here... I really do. ;)

Later with more stuff from spring break week! :)
