So..... my eating habits have changed a bit since I no longer write a weekly food column. I never realized how much eating at every restaurant under the sun was influencing my food choices (not to mention my waistline). Now that I am cooking 95% of my meals (opposed to about 75% when I had my column) it is actually easier to get into a routine of baking bread and buying local. 
I have ventured into charcuterie and croissant making and I now can make a mean "rough puff" (a term I find sounds like a part of the female anatomy but for those in the know it is slang for puff pastry). I have also tasted so many  innards of  a pig I have a new appreciation for offal. 
Now if I can get my s*#t together I will tell all in the next couple of weeks......
