I order a lot of gifts online. I had accumulated a number of unopened boxes and decided to open and wrap them this morning. It was the third one I opened. Inside was a cookbook of a fairly well-known cooking site/publisher. I hadn't ordered a cookbook! I started reading the accompanying cover letter to discover that a recipe I submitted was included. I submit a lot of recipes for contests and online publication. Which one did they publish? It wasn't written on the cover letter, so I started to leaf through. Of all the recipes, it was my husband's rhubarb strudel recipe. He bakes only that and an Easter bread. Otherwise, I'm the sole baker/cook of the house, and they publish HIS recipe! Good grief!


I'm happy for hubby, but yea, a little jealous. At least I can say that my accompanying story likely helped "sell" it.


Hubby is home today through the Christmas holiday. I decorated our front door and dining room wreaths. I may add fresh flowers to the one in the dining room. They still need to go up.
