I’ve been cooking less but I made a doctored version of the taglierini, zucchini, lemon, capers, pine nuts, herbs recipe from the Greens cookbook, which I still have out of the library (oops). It would have been better if Leah hadn’t eaten all the good stuff out of it.
In real news, not kitchen news, Gourmet’s Asia correspondent, Karen Coates, was arrested and deported from Myanmar last week, maybe because of this douchebag who swam across a lake to see Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, now in custody in Yangon. Who is John Yettaw, anyway? LT calls him an “activist,” but Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer said that this is the second time he’s tried to visit her; the first time, he left her a “little Bible.” He’s Mormon and writing a “faith-based book on heroism.” Uh, and he just got things all messed up for Aung San Suu Kyi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, has been under house arrest for 13 years, and probably didn’t need any more trouble.
I made this cake for a friend’s birthday, and it, sadly, was another instance of “I slaved all day over this but now I don’t want to eat it at all.” Okay, mainly this is because prior to cake time I ingested pretty much a whole chicken and a pound of mashed potatoes. Last week, someone I had a meeting with informed me that after he finished college, all he wanted to do was “eat out. Like, all the time.” For real. Yesterday: caesar salad. Today: breakfast tacos. Point being, I hated this cake. Everyone else loved it but I thought it was gross. Summer! Soon it will be too hot to bake! Let them eat fruit.
