Cooking up something

I got two new cookbooks in the mail and I am so thrilled!! (Entertaining with the Sopranos and Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons.) I have such an affection for cookbooks. I'm telling you, I read them as if they were a novel. Dh likes to tease me and say it would be nice if I actually made something from all these cookbooks that I own. I make stuff from them all the time...he's just clueless! So I am off, to get lost in my culinary wonders!! Well at least until the kids get home from school anyway!!
