Is there anything special you like to cook this time of the year? I mean something you like to do in the winter to break up the monotony?
For me, the next three months are the times I make the most fresh pasta and the most bread. Sure, I'll do it other times of the year, but not like I do now. My ancient home gets way too hot to have ovens going in the summer and I refuse to put the pot on for pasta when it's too humid out.
I'm making brioche for breakfast tomorrow morning. I usually have to get out of bed around 4 or so to pull the dough out of the fridge for shaping and the final rise. I'll go back to bed and get up again about 6:30 to put it into the oven...by 7:15 wild horses couldn't keep Lou in the bedroom, it smells that good in the kitchen.
I'm making a roasted carrot fettucine for dinner tomorrow night, too.
What about you? Any winter kitchen warriors?
