The. Bar. Is. Over. I don’t care if I don’t pass; I never, EVER want to take that thing again. That’s all. On a bright note, everything after taking the bar exam seems relatively easier. I was delayed at Laguardia for 9 hours on Sunday before flying to Michigan. But I relaxed in that tiny, little Delta [...] The next few months are going to be an exercise in simplicity and restraint. Simplicity because I don’t have time to make elaborate — even borderline complicated or time-consuming — meals. Restraint because creating new dishes and spending time in the kitchen is my passion. I had heard that studying for the bar exam would [...] Please forgive yet another week’s lapse in posting. I was struck — rather swiftly, actually, so the word is appropriate — with a fierce case of food poisoning. Or the flu. Or food poisoning. Or the flu. Well, I still haven’t been able to figure out what it was, and I guess I’ll never [...] “Be content with your lot. One cannot be first in everything.” That was the message I found in my fortune cookie after eating dinner with my parents in August 2007. I’ll never forget it because that August was my first break after my first set of law school exams. I don’t usually talk about law [...] As hard as this may be to believe, there was a point in my life when my sweet tooth was virtually non-existent. Sure, I’d enjoy the occassional tiramisu at an Italian restaurant, or ice cream on a hot summer day. But generally, I didn’t enjoy sweets. I was one of those savory-over-sweet at brunch [...] I’ve been working on perfecting a recipe for black bean brownies for about a week now. At first, I wasn’t even going to create a recipe, as Ricki Heller’s looked so good that I was just planning on making hers (sometimes I just want someone to take the guess work out of it for me, ok?). [...] The stevia streak continues, this time with a little flavor boost: vanilla. I’ve tried stevia in ice cream before with not so great results, so this raspberry ice cream — sorbet? sherbert? — came as a pleasant surprise to me. It had just the right amount of sweetness, no bitter aftertaste (my toughest dessert [...] Two newly-discovered products inspired this super easy cake. First, I was recently asked to do a review of Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour for Allergy Sense (which is a great resource if you have allergies or kids with allergies, by the way). I was interested in doing so because 1) I think it’s important, [...] I’ve been working on a recipe for chocolate bark that’s also low carb and grain free. For this recipe, I used Truvia instead of agave, which makes the bark technically not grain-free, since erythritol, which is used to make Truvia, is made with corn. Still, Truvia adds no additional calories and provides a nice, aftertaste-less sweetness [...] Spring came a few days early. Today, the sun was shining. The weather was warm. People were out and about. The robin I spotted a few days ago must have been a sign. The streets were fittingly speckled with green. I know St. Patty’s day was the source of the green, but it might as well [...] |
