Made Tres Leches cake.  It was good, but I was expecting it to be...I don't know...drippier?

Lemon ricotta pound cake, a close cousin of the cannoli pound cake I posted previously. This time it's actually a pound cake, more or less. And yes, it's delicious.

Grilled cheese experiment: olive and brunost, Norwegian brown cheese. Was good, if a little odd.

A piece of gingerbread, slightly lopsided. Still delicious. I used Anna Olsen's recipe.

Pot of misir wat, Ethiopian spiced lentils. Delicious.

Cannoli pound cake. Really just an excuse to use leftover ricotta. Smells amazing.

Carrot cake, cut through

First time making carrot cake. And first time doing a crumb coat! Most of my previous caves have been simpler ones like pound cake, with no frosting.

First time making split pea soup!

This is Marcella Hazan's "Famous tomato sauce" , in progress.  Only four ingredients: tomatoes, butter, sky, onion. You don't even chop the onion. I will give a full report.

Tonight I made salade nicoise, which is actually more work than I thought. Tastes great, but I suspect I'd enjoy this more if I were paying someone to do it.

Spaghetti Carbonara, take two: guanciale edition.  Delicious as always, but I think I may prefer the pancetta version.
