Late Comer

Hi All. I'm Rachel. Since this is my first venture into the on-line world as anything other than a reader, that's my only identity. I come to you through Kathy, who I met when we worked together several years (and for her Several jobs) ago. My craftiness runs more toward kitchen craft. I've been known to do ribbon embroidery but patience, my cat and now a 1-year old conspire to convince me that's not to viable a hobby now.

So here I'll venture my occasional entries on cooking and thoughts on the herb plants I'm growing as I try to cultivate an interest in gardening. Occasionally sharing these thoughts with a pastry chef might be intimidating but I have taught Kathy a few things: like the cheese bread recipe that, in part, won my husband.

When I resigned from my job last year to stay home with our daughter I thought there would be plenty of time to dedicate to cooking and baking. Nope. For the first 6 months the little one was disinclined to nap; since then I've been disinclined to do anything *anything* to wake her from a hard won nap. Dramatic but true.
