I do love kale, though. We ate it frequently when I was a kid, and I've always liked it. What took me forever to eat as a kid were some of the other veggies my mother served. Cheap cheap disgusting canned veggies we got from the union when my father was on strike. The mushy salty peas were the worst, followed closely by the lumpy yukky hominy and asparagus that was so tough, no one could chew it. All the fresh veggies, I loved, and still do. <br /><br />This is definitely soup weather. Even here. That's what's on our menu for tonight, but those cookies sure sound good. Smarticus has diabetes, so I don't bake like I used to, but maybe a litttttttle bit of cookies wouldn't hurt...<br /><br />Happy weekend!

As for photographing the results....well, that would just add insult to injury!<br /><br />However, we do love to eat and should love to live close enough to be able to pop in after one of your big bake-ins. Gosh, our mouths are watering at the thought of the delicious aromas......<br /><br />Winter definitely brings a need for comfort food although we have to confess to a love of 'Nursery Puddings' at any time of the year. A steamed sponge pudding.....how we should love it right now!<br /><br />Whatever, keep warm and safe. We wish you all peace and joy in 2015.
