A cold winter's night in Vancouver and a day off. Relaxing on the couch in front of the fireplace and yet again there is snow stuck to our patio table. Christmas is coming and the preparations are underway. I am knitting up a storm, planning the food and figuring out where to put the tree.

Vancouver is not usually this cold and the house was not made for these temperatures. So, curled up on the couch we are working on our new café menu. I actually love the cold crisp air and being next to the warm fire. However it's cold enough out there that all I want to do is roast and bake.

I still think turning the oven on is the best way to keep warm on a cold winter day. Not surprising that I became a Baker.
