The soup was good, the bread was a tad disappointing. Meh. I must conquer the bread.

robiewankenobie graced me with a genuine real-live telephone call and gave me tons O inspiration regarding wedding invitations. She is truly genius. Let's buy her a fruit basket or something.

I am essentially on vacation this week. (Kind of my prize for waking up early nearly everyday last week) So I am doing a bit of cooking. I should make people come over and eat the food so I won't go all Kirstie Alley in the kitchen.

FETTUCINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise not to go all L. Ron Hubbard on people

I am thinking a lot about food from the Basque region*. Just Spanish cooking in general. Time to look through books.

I need to go and take a bath.

In other news Lord Nelson gets waxed



*For my mom: I'm not your Father, I'm your Dad. Your Father is a Basque sheepherder.

For an excellent Basque cookbook, see "The Basque Kitchen" by Gerard Hirogoyen. One of the most beautiful and best collections of authentic French Basque cooking around. (Plus I know him!).

Is he a boyfriend?

[emmabovary.livejournal.com]

No...he is the Dad of one of Camille's school buddies.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Ah.
I just recall you mentioning a basque once.

[emmabovary.livejournal.com]

Oh, I broke off with him at Christmas. Nice penis, but boring personality.

I heard Martha Stewart is coming up to Seattle now that she is free and really showing you who is boss.

You know how to beat a dead horse

Are you genuinely trying to rile me up?

I have a couple of Spanish cookbooks from when I studied in Spain. Spanish cuisine is the bomb. Anything in particular you want to try? I'll check them out & pass the recipes on to you.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I am not sure. I need to study this a bit and figure out what I am looking for.

It's okay. I allow a little irrational hatred of movie stars.

I'll have to scan in my 'Le Gateau Basque' postcard that has all the ingredients laid out.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

yes. do so!

[moravskyvrabec.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, have to find it. *taps teeth*. Just kidding, I didn't tap my teeth.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Now you are making fun of me.

[moravskyvrabec.livejournal.com]

Neeeverrrrrrr. :-) Anyone who taps their teeth is a pale imitation...you are the original. So far all my gateau basque post card hunting has come to naught. I really need to clean up the mess in this house...I think it's w/ the other half of my fridge magnets, which have been missing since moving in here.

I can't think of the word basque without thinking of that line.
