Plans for the day: sleeping late (done and checked off the to-do list) and
cooking. I was going to make kasha and bowties to eat with the leftovers, but I
think I'll wait on that, since there isn't room in the fridge at the moment. The
caramel pot-au-creme is done, and even tasty. I was a little worried that the
caramel flavor wouldn't be strong enough, since half of it boiled up and onto the
stove when I added the cream, but I tasted a tiny bit and it seems ok. Egret
suggested Bˇarnaise sauce to go on my asparagus, so I may do that, if it doesn't
look too hard to make. I'm off now to eat breakfast and consult with my
cookbooks.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, everyone. One thing for which I
am thankful this year is the opportunity to meet and get to peek inside other
people's lives through the medium of these diaries. Even more so, for those who
have become friends, though diaries and my lists -- high in that roster are
href="http://mechaieh.diaryland.com">Mechaieh, she who was Phelps,
href="http://eilatan.net">Natalie, and
href="http://caerula.diaryland.com">Caerula, but there are lots of others. I
have a feeling I'll write more on that theme later today.
