| How 52 weeks began |
New Year's Resolutions:
Try a new recipe each week. Let's see how I succeed: I love to cook, and I have tons of cookbooks, recipes scattered in the pages of various cookbooks, and recipes bookmarked here and there. I have a selection of ex-boyfriend recipes. (Too bad I don't have his cookbooks, but at least I know his recipe for triple-chocolate pecan pie) and I want to improve upon it (and believe me, I have already improved upon his pie crust.
 Pictured is the pecan pie (ha! tastes just as good--if not better--than the ex's!)
I also like to experiment with recipes. Sometimes they flop. I indulge in excessive Christmas baking, too.
The other resolution was to learn to juggle. And to knit lots.
This week, I made quiche lorraine, using this wonderful recipe from Cooks Illustrated. The crust was also from Cooks Illustrated, and my gosh, the quiche was the creamiest I've had (big pat on the back here) and just very savory and rich.
Of course the picture is sideways...and then I had leftover cream, so I made a second quiche. As good as it was, I doubt I will make another quiche anytime soon. |
