A week in the life of food

Just before that special time each month my cravings get worse and I embark on insane food oddesseys. The fact that my husband prefers it nowadays when I don't cook allows for some extreme experimentation on my part. To start with this week because my body was craving sugar, I made the shortbread and then I ate the shortbread not a piece but all of it over a 3 day period. It kept calling out to me from it air tight container on the counter. This will be what we are serving at the Auction on the 7th
