Harold McGee Dodges My Question!

You may all remember The Great Cheesecake Failure of '10. I put a cheesecake in the oven. It dripped, and an oven fire ensued. Removed cheesecake, put out fire. Let oven cool, cleaned oven. Reheated oven and put cheesecake back in.

The cheesecake did nothing. Refused to bake any further.

Skin Like Duck-Garlic Candy


I spent Christmas in Paris (I know, what a good idea, right?). It was spectacular. I ate my way through the city of lights, walking around and looking at great art and architecture between meals, as a way to stimulate appetite. At the end of the day, back to the apartment for a nightcap of wine and Lyonnaise sausage before bed. Yum.

Courtesy of my friends Olivia and Emmanuel, I got to have a wonderful lunch at an actual French home, which was a truly lovely break from my wanderings from restaurant to restaurant. Plus, the food was outstanding.
