guess what’s for dinner on the start of the year of the rabbit?

One of Karla's favorite meals is rabbit and she wanted to start the Chinese 'Year of the Rabbit

Much fun can be had by being a patient person this year:

Horoscope 2011, forecast for the 2011 year of the white Rabbit

The coming 2011 year of the metal Rabbit is around the corner. It is not the size of this animal that makes sense for the whole year, but its inner nature. It looks like we’ve got quite sophisticated period with gracious manners and sensitivity. This 2011 year of the white Rabbit your may pin hopes on your sense of intuition. But don’t be impatient or be in harry, in 2011 year of the Rabbit without concentration you will fail.

egg nog bread pudding is something special

egg nog bread pudding
Fans of the 'Count of Monte Cristo will recognize this scene, although the words were changed... slightly! 😉

What I love the most is bread, eggs, spices, cream and berries. I am very fond of GEORGE WASHINGTON’S eggnog with some minor tweaks, french toast and bread pudding… so why not combine how I do these things and see what happens. What happens is delicious!

bread pudding
Yummy! Covered with glazed nuts, roasted sesame seeds and a sauce that would make George washington proud -- including Sherry, Rye whisky, Armagnac and Rum!

My basic bread pudding recipe.

Definitely delicious!

What’s Christmas without a special ham and a uniquely yummy glaze? The glaze takes nearly as long to make as cooking the ham… but it is worth it!

BRAIN gingerbread cookies!

You never know what will happen when my daughters come home to visit! They decided to make gingerbread cookies in the shape of the popular cellphone game “Plants vs. Zombies”… plus a tribute to their Biological Psychologist mother in the form of a Brain… ah… yummy… I guess?

Enjoy the season!
