I'm saving the matzo balls for tomorrow, because they're really better with parsley, and I don't have any. I'll go shopping tomorrow. Just made matzo brei for tonight -- a bit more experimenting with the recipe, and it's getting closer to seeming right. The texture is right, it just needs a bit more flavor. I hadn't realized how much of the flavor of matzo brei comes from the eggs. I think the easy solution here is adding a bit of vegetable broth. The expensive solution, which would probably work better, would be black salt, but I don't really want to go on that much of an ingredient search for something that's supposed to be simple like matzo brei.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Matzo brei was the only culinary accomplishment of a guy I dated in college. About 80 percent of his diet was fried crackers and pizza.

My aunt got me the Great Chefs Cook Vegan cookbook. It looks cool, but all of these recipes are way more complicated than anything I could hope to make without a sous-chef, I think. Also, without a ton of equipment. I just opened to a random page, and got Chilled Apple Consomme with Celery Root Remoulade. The consomme requires, among other things, vitamin C powder, apple pectin, and a juicer. The remoulade doesn't look too difficult, though it does require julienning the celery root, which seems like it would be an enormous pain. There are eight ingredients in the "garnish" section.
Several other recipes require a dehydrator. And pretty much all of them require much better knife skills than I have.

Ok. Now I'm dying to talk to Aims, and *she's* disappeared. Goof.

Ok, seriously, people are using live goldfish as centerpieces at events like weddings? [link] The hell?

Eep! Glad it doesn't hurt, but, that can't be good.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We had brunch -- it started at 11 -- the last guest left around 530/600. Success food and house were complimented. Dh was confused because it was very mellow. He didn't realizes that there was a constant level of food coma/prosecco coma going on.
yay for Erin's second date!
Do you have Vegan with a vengeance , Hil? I like it - it has a bunch of simple stuff.
