The skies are gray today and a brisk wind is pulling at the siding of my house.  I am comfy in my bed, watching the fire in the bedroom fireplace and listening to the kids downstairs.  If you don’t mind I think it is a little chilly for surfing…so perhaps skating or skiing is in order?

Lots of very cool stuff from the blog-o-sphere today…

Karen at Bake My Day! posted some fascinating caramel and bacon madeleines..They look spectacular.. Bacon seems to be the new chocolate chip these days and I love some of the things that I am seeing done with it.

It has been a long time since I have made Kugelhopf but Tanna at My Kitchen in Half Cups has tempted me with the fantastic pictures of the one she made.  Yummy!  One of these days I am going to invite her for coffee…we live not too far apart.

Giz at Equal Opportunity Kitchen posted a fantastic recipe a few days ago.  Tyropita are Greek savory pastries made with feta and ricotta.  Another thing that I haven’t made in way too long!  If you are starting to look for appetizers for your New Years party this would be a great addition!

One thing (of many) that I am addicted to is Homemade Chex Mix.  I know..I know..plebian….commoner…unworthy to sprinkle fleur de sel on my caramels…sigh…But there you have it..an addict I am.  I have only had the savory kind but  Natty at Life Is a Feast made some that looks awesome….and….it…has…M &Ms….

Claire from The Barefoot Kitchen blogged some Speculaas, one of my all time favorites.  Can’t resist these things.The image is fantastic and the recipe looks great.

Aren’t those amazing recipes?  What are you cooking this weekend? I am thinking of doing a rolled roast for tomorrow..but some will depend on what I get done today. ;0)
