New Beginnings and A New Content's Page

This is not about New Years Resolutions, that come and go
I have been a LOT lax in keeping up my blogs, and for that I am guilty
However, time to get on the wagon and try my best to make it up....

Have moved into new digs, and have made a decision to record as much of what I have in the way of self discovery on of all things, PAPER ;-) while at the same time slipping as much as is practical to the ELECTRONIC PAPER... How this will work out in progress is anyone's guess at the moment...

First Step: I have been collecting together in a folder, favorite recipes, and have now begun to organize that folder, into what I hope will be the contents pages of a Cookery Book... at present, this page here will be my online equivalent of the folder and the Word Doc contents page.... any critiques or comments, additions etc welcome...
     While this will be the Christmas Section of the Book, (I am planning on another blog to do the book in it's entirety) there will no doubt be some overlap with the more normal sections, like breads, pastries, cakes etc... So treat the following as a work in progress, not a finished product:; there will be over the months / years additions and subtractions....  and I will be posting the recipes in later posts, or updating recipes that I have already posted.... Be patient with me ;-)
