Merry Christmas Night, year 2011, coming soon 2012

We are celebrating the Christmas of 2011 and thinking in the new year 2012, we expect that this year has been a blessing and prosperity.

Well, like every year we decorate our homes with beautiful Christmas lights for the night as good as for the celebration of the new year 2012, hopefully not the end of the world as many believe.

I personally I have much to celebrate and also so much to buy. Christmas shopping is but I hope that in the year, I like hanging out with my family and buy Christmas decorations, clothing, shoes, food and everything that makes Christmas a Merry Christmas.

This Christmas I have planned to spend it on my parents' house and spend the New Year at home with my wife and family.

I am of the people I like to get ahead of important dates, and I like to buy advance, there are now many websites with good deals on clothes and Christmas products, buy one or two months can be aticipo key to save some money and step we take advantage of holiday deals and discounts.

Merry Christmas 2011
Happy New Year 2012

Sur La Table

...is also the name of a store. But that's not what this post is about.

When not traveling, moving, or raising a spirited (read: obstinate) puppy, I've spent the past year cultivating a new book project. Though new is a bit of a misnomer, since it was cooking in my head well before Jayne made an appearance.

But it's been what I like to call a slow-cooker idea, requiring a lot of time to develop. In between, it has changed tremendously in the best way.

One key component of the book has been the same, however - it has always been about the food.

Well, that and two people who find each other. But they eat well.

The two specific kinds of cuisine found in the book are French and Italian. Now, I'm fairly conversant in Italian food. It's really pretty straight-forward and very accessible. Versions of it can be found in Olive Gardens, Macaroni Grills, and in every restaurant where someone boils pasta and tops it with sauce.

French food...it's a bit trickier.

There is often some technique involved in French cookery, and if not, there's the appearance of technique. You don't find Coq au vin in pizzerias, or cassoulet at buffets. Shari's does not have tarte tatin month. Here in Tri-cities, the likelihood of my finding a little French bistro is well below nil.

But I need it for the book, so I popped onto Amazon and picked out a small selection of books, as well as a blue steel crepe pan that I'm really quite in love with.  But along with the crepe pan, it's obvious that I'll also need a proper Dutch Oven soon, as well as a roasting pan and a tart pan (had one, but the bottom is missing and that's a somewhat crucial piece). Oh, and ramekins.

"Lodge" Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6-Quart

After flipping through the books - which look amazing - it's very clear that I will have to get over my dislike of whole roasted chicken specifically, and my inexperience when it comes to roasting meats in general.

(I've roasted vegetables - does that count for anything?)

But it's been a good year for expanding my repertoire, since I'm now quite proficient with cutlets, sauces, and roux making. Oh, and custard.

This is Walter. He likes custard.

Well, off to contemplate making potato leek soup.  Will post later as the food adventures continue...

December 6, 1923

President Coolidge makes the first presidential address on U.S. radio.

Calvin Coolidge became President upon the death of Warren Harding. He had a reputation as a man of integrity and helped to restore confidence in the office of the Presidency following the scandals that dogged the Harding administration. Coolidge addressed Congress when it reconvened on December 6, 1923, and gave a speech that echoed many of Harding's themes. The speech was the first Presidential speech to be broadcast to the nation over the radio.

December 5 Marconi

Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi (below)transmitted the first readable wireless radio signals 3,200 km across the Atlantic from his station at Glace Bay, Cape Breton to Poldhu in Cornwall, England.  A year earlier he had sent the first transatlantic wireless test signal - the letter 'S' repeated over and over - from Poldhu to his assistant Percy Wright Paget flying a box kite trailing a 121 metre long copper wire antenna on Signal Hill, St. John's. Nfld. The Canadian government gave Marconi $80 000 to set up wireless operations at Glace Bay, after nervous Newfoundland undersea cable companies, claiming a monopoly on transatlantic messages, booted him off the island. The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of Canada Ltd. was chartered in 1902.---http://www.pugetsoundradio.com.
