[Sca-cooks] Storms and Cooking (was: Cake Sotelties)

[Helen Schultz]

Central and North Central Indiana just got hit by the storm, several inches 
of snow!!  It is heading Kiri's (we met briefly at the MK Cooks Symposium 
last weekend) direction for tomorrow (or maybe even later tonight)... ugly 
stuff.  I heard a passenger plane skidded off the runway at Chicago, that 
was nasty.

I am always alone here, and rarely do much full cooking (I love my 
microwave).  However, I will be cooking a good sized feast on Saturday for 
my friends to celebrate the beginning of my 59th year (that was actually 
today <grin>).  I'll be making a salmon wrapped in pastry, rice pilaf, and 
roasted winter vegetables, as well as Russian Cream and an Apricot Tart from 
Tuscany.  My best friend is bringing the cake (I asked for carrot cake) 
which will be made in the castle bundt pan.  I'm looking forward to it with 
relish... as I love to cook, but can't make myself do it for just myself.

Anyone who has to go out on the roads tonight, please drive slowly and 
carefully... those roads are slick!!
