This has been an extraordinary year for the Silver Fox and me. We spent most of October in the mountain kingdoms of Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan, and fortune continues to smile on us. We are about to depart on an oft postponed trip to Egypt. We are scheduled to fly to Cairo on Thursday and we'll be back just before the Christmas holiday. While the countdown is not yet quite complete, it looks like all systems are go and we will finally get to see all that Egypt offers. I am going to put the blog on autopilot for most of December, but while I'm gone I have new recipes to share with you and it's my hope you'll continue to check in to see what I am featuring. All the recipes are for seasonal cookies and breads that will make your guests smile and help contribute to your holiday merriment. I plan to bolster my normal posts with pictures and verbal reflections of Egypt as I am able. I'll resume normal posting four or five days before Christmas.
