Spring. Freedom. Sunshine. Bliss.
School is over, for now at least. Zac is well into his MCAT studies, and since I am not taking ay classes for the next two months most of my energy goes towards working at the BYU bookstore and food. I found a new favorite cookbook. Eric Lanlord compiles his favorite recipes in Cake Boy. It's golden. Best 15 dollar baking investment ever...I made his Madelines yesterday and I they were incredible. Even my husband approved, and that is a rarity considering my baking skills are limited. Take for example the lemon torte I tried to make yesterday. It was a disaster. I am still in awe as to why I thought instant pudding and flour with lemon juice would produce something edible.
Lemon torte catastrophe aside, I have reset my focus on two things that need to be done before Summer term starts...First, I will, no matter what it takes get all the thank you cards that need to be sent, sent from our wedding. I am not too sure why I am terrible at things like this but I am determined to get it done. My one-year limit for sending them is nearing its end, so it's time to get cracking. Second, I want to put together a recipe booklet of my 100 favorite go-to meals. I've compiled enough index cards and notebooks with my own experiments to get my first "book" together. I figure 100 recipes is enough to make a book but not too much to be drowned with work in. And who knows, maybe my children, not that I have any yet, nor is this a hint that I am expecting, will find them useful in the future.
Bon Appetit.
Oh, I also recently discovered, No Reservations, a movie I enjoyed immensely is a complete carbon copy of the German film Mostly Martha. I nearly had a meltdown when I discovered that what I thought was an original was not at all. Don't let this spoil your taste for the later make. The American version does have a much more appealing cast.
