Everytime I think about this blog, my mind runs through a debate...
"Should I quit blogging?"
Another part of me says, "No, don't give it up!"
The part that wants to quit points out, "Well, you haven't posted in a while. What kind of blogger are you anyway? Plus, you don't have time for this."
Then the other part says, "Well, you had time to have brunch this morning, read about Michelin inspectors http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/11/23/091123fa_fact_colapinto, and watch Cal win the big game yesterday (go Bears!)"
And so on...
For right now, then, I'm going to keep my blog, although I can't promise how often I'll be blogging. I'm here today, though!
Culinary thoughts that have been running through my mind...I want to make something with puff pastry this week. I've been thinking about puff pastry for the last few weeks since the leaves have turned and the temperature has been slowly creeping into the 50s. My mom makes great pate chaud (puff pastry turnovers with pork meatballs inside) and I've been craving those. I might do a variation and do a mushroom, sour cream and onion filling or a spanikopita-like filling with feta and spinach. For the pastry, I love the pre-made sheets from Pepperidge Farms--they rise well and are rich and flaky, for minimal effort.
That's all for now!
