or do i just watch too much sci-fi?
things i've cooked recently that i liked:
amaretto peach and pear tart for a friday night dinner party. (this was, as we say, a goddamn ordeal. my crust wouldn’t hold together, the cream wasn’t all that creamy—oh, for a food processor—my pears were awfully soft… and yet, ‘twas delicious.)
vegetable enchiladas for dinner at home with em & j after richard the third at bam (incredible, by the way.)...
thursday things.
