It's been awhile since I posted on my blog! A trip to Paris and purchasing a new home in the city of Baltimore have kept me busy and I've spent very little time on the computer! I'm back in classes at Renaissance and I'll be spending more time on the computer. Our entire trip was spectacular but here are a few highlights! 

Yesterday I made 7 inch rich chocolate cooked - a recipe from Helen Corbitt's cookbook years ago when she was the chef for Neiman Marcus in Dallas.  She spread 1 Tablespoon of the batter in 8 inch cake pans to nearly the edge to make large cookies and baked them for seven minutes. I flipped the pans over and spread the batter on the bottom - made it much easier. Kathryn Costa, do you think this qualifies as a mandala? I'm making something more traditional today to begin my 100 Mandala Challenge!
