The Chef and I are preparing to leave our home for the Christmas festivities. On the table, ready to be packed: smoked paprika; truffle oil; Maldon sea salt; golden balsamic vinegar. There are ginger cookies, rolled sugar cookies, chocolate blocks, the Chef's mom's Christmas cookies, fudge, and sugared pecans. Waiting to be cooked, an enormous pork loin for tonight, a prime rib so large that I could use it as a battering ram. The Kitchen-Aid is going too, since I'm making rosemary bread for dinner. And of course, there are presents and gift tags and the camera.
We are kercited. It is our first Christmas together.
With the holiday, and the impending deadline of my book, we may not be here for awhile. So we would both — the Chef and the Writer — like to take this chance to say,
peace to you all.
Remember, as John says, war is over, if we want it.
Thank you for your presence in our lives. Happy Christmas, everyone.

Dear Shauna and Dan,
You two look so beautiful together. Wishing you a very happy first Christmas together!
Have a blessed Christmas!
Happy Holidays to you, Shauna. Your blog is a tremendous resource to the GF world! BTW, I am going to check your links, but in case it is not there, do you know of any sugar-free GF chocolate that can be used for baking??? I have one link from YC Chocolate http://www.ycchocolate.com/
but it is $12.50 a lb. for baking chocolate.
Peace, love and popsicles, babes! I know you will have an incredible first Christmas together.
Happy new year!
Happy holidays Shauna and Dan! Here's to a great first Christmas and many, many more to come...
Merry christmas and happy new year!
With everything you're bringing I'm sure it'll be a nice christmas. :)
oh, Merry Christmas to both of you! Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us through your blog--I enjoy your stories and recipes so much. Good luck finishing your MS.
As I said after my mum made dad a flour-free Christmas cake full of soft fruits and nuts - "all I am saying is give me a piece".
Have a great Christmas and keep up the good work next year.
Enjoy your holiday, Merry Christmas

The conversation and community is the best part of being here. Id love to hear what you have to say.
Let the conversation be spirited and full of questions. However, any nasty comments with a personal attack, or scurrilous ones with no intention but to hurt? They]re not getting published.
This is why I am no longer accepting anonymous comments. Too many insulting comments come through those.
This space is like my kitchen, and Im inviting you in. If you would feel comfortable pointing your finger at me and shouting during a party in my kitchen, well, I'd ask you to leave. And then the rest of us would clear the air and go back to talking and laughing. The same is true here.
Now. Enough of that. Let's talk.
