So I'm brewing new menus for next week, but just wanted to say a few things:
1. Yes, this is really real. We really do eat this stuff. And if any of it seems hard or complicated, trust me, it's not. Precision is not a strong suit in this Allmen household.
2. I got a new cookbook! It's The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, and it's gorgeous. I sat on the couch this afternoon during the Michigan State game and read THE WHOLE THING... and it's hard to decide what to make first. Yay, new cookbooks!
3. I also got MY VERY OWN BLOWTORCH (for kitchen use, not for welding) for Christmas. It came with a demand, though: an invite for creme brulee was necessary. So now I need to learn to cook creme brulee. I imagine lots and lots of practice batches to get it "just right."

I adore Ina, her cookbooks are my favorites, Parties is the best in my opinion. I don't have one called just cookbook, must be the 1st one. I also have "at home" and "back to basics". Most everything I make now is from her, just wish I had better access to the ingredients she calls for, or better yet... access to her old store!! Can't wait to see what you end up cooking from her.
It's a 1999 copyright date... but it's mostly geared toward dinner parties, so the recipes all serve, like, 8 people. But I can buck up and eat more than my share, if that's necessary.
