A Sigh of Relief

June 29, 2009 by Alison

With class parties, teacher toasts, birthdays, year-end gifts and kick off the summer BBQ’s, like many of you, I’ve been particularly busy. Thankfully though, I’ve had my friends to help me get through this end-of-the-year craziness, especially in the kitchen.

The process of making a jumbo corn salad and coleslaw that can serve 40 for a teacher toast would have put me in the loony bin if I didn’t have Liz to make them with me. Instead, we cranked out the salads in less than two hours and actually appreciated the time we had together during such a busy time of year.

My kids’ teachers never would have gotten homemade biscotti if I had to make it by myself — It’s just too darn busy this time of year! They can thank my friend Jackie for nudging me to pick a biscotti-baking date!

And, lastly, there’s my family, who certainly wouldn’t have had curry puffs for dinner if I hadn’t made them with Debbie one soggy, rainy day.

A sigh of relief, for the school season is over. Cooking with friends unquestionably helped me accomplish all that I did. Now begins another season of cooking together, one that’s fun and creative, and an opportunity to spend time with friends between vacations.

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
