Yes, I know Karendipity says that I should have more creative titles, and Antonius Van DeMarcus seconded that motion, but honestly it's too much effort to think in advance about the content of a blog post and then find an appropriate title. Becuase really my blogging is sort of a stream of consciousness type of effort, which means that I start typing and then just press "publish" whenever I'm done. So you might query why I don't write the title in after I've done the post but hey, I'm idiosyncratic and complicated, OK, so leave me alone.
Today I made a lot of food:
(1) Spinach + artichoke + cream cheese dip, which I slathered on bread;
(2) Penne vodka (bacon + garlic + onion + basel + red pepper flakes + heavy cream + vodka); and
(3) an almond and pear tart.
Yes, I'm eating too much and not going to the gym. Give me a break. It's December. I need to be unhealthy now so that I can have an appropriate New Years Resolution, right?
Or so I console myself (now and during the remaining days of the month of December).
Lots has happened since my last post. I went up to Connecticut to see the cutest baby in the history of the world. When I visit friends who live outside of New York, I really wonder why I feel the need to spend an obscene amount of money to live in a tiny space without the amenities of a car and a garden and oh a dining table that seats more than four people and oh space to sleep (a bedroom) and to work (a study) and to entertain (a living room) and to eat (a dining room) and to watch the amazing neighbourhood views (a "sun room"???). I mean really: a sun room?
Yes, yes, I know I should be happy I live in an amazing city.

see, i think you just need to harken back to the S.L. when you're feeling down. because, hey, at least you have running water, and you don't need to iron your clothes for the sole purposes of killing the insects found inside.
I love the list of menu items however, BASIL is not spelled correctly - just a friendly note from your chef friend....xoxo ;-)
