There is a lovely new set of Circulon2 tucked in my cooking cupboard, and a
second pizza stone resting silently in preparation for a night of pizza or
bread making. I added several pieces of Calphalon Silicone bakeware and some
doo dads and gadgets with gift cards. It's like having a whole new kitchen.
Chili, spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage and vegetable beef soup have all
already made their 2007 premiere in the new cookery. This weekend, it's time
for chicken and dumplings.

The shopping bug will probably hit as we pass Tracy outlets this weekend on
the way to pick up the 11 year old at the airport.

Any pointers on the silicone bakeware would be most appreciated, I have
never used it before but am dying to try. Also, I need a good spring-form
pan, any favorites out there?

I have gained so much just reading all your posts and hope there are some
all knowing cooks here who can offer expertise in the use of silicone
bakeware and tips for where shop in San Francisco, Pleasanton, Tracy
(California) area?

Thanks

Cindi
