One of my new favorite Sunday morning breakfast treats is Monkey Bread.  This morning’s recipe turned out exceptionally good and was really pretty on my new cake plate.  (See 2/27/10 Post.)  This is a real, comfort food treat and one that I only make when we have company.  I’ve decided that the reason I LOVE cookbooks so much is because of the fantastic photographs they contain.  Photographing food is an art.  Since I enjoy food so much, it only makes since that I’d appreciate the art (almost as much as I do the food.)

 

Gridiron October 2, 2008

We hosted the CCHS Gridiron Dinner once again this year.  Dinner was delicious New York steaks cooked on site by Amaro and crew… and the rest of dinner (including her famous appetizers) was catered by Mary Alice.  It was great.  We had about 110 people there and the evening was perfect.  We usually host the dinner just before the Hilmar game, but I moved it up for fear of rain.  Just as luck would have it we almost had our first rain of the season, but it held out.  Sierra came home from Chico and attended (her first one) and we had other guests including the Almeida’s and Leroy’s parents.  Dessert were “helmet” cookies from Mari Varni.
