:: made Huckle Buckle. Ate huckle buckle. Loved huckle buckle (from Good to the Grain).
:: enjoyed the company of my kitchen 'helpers.' We've begun a nightly rotation of who's on "helping make dinner" duty - I love that it's a treat for them, not a chore (clearing the table, sadly, still seems to be a 'chore').
:: grilled radicchio for the first time. So good.
:: totally and completely fallen in love with grilling pizza (looking for tips? Check out 101 Cookbooks).
:: rejoiced that my husband loves making (and does so well) the NYTimes chocolate chip cookies.
