The last time I said a litany to the
life-forces in my kitchen, I prayed for sun. A day later it was sunny and warm.
Luck of the Irish or purely supernatural?
Either way, I am a firm believer in
positioning idols in the kitchen. In fact, a little altar is the best thing I added
to my kitchen this past year to improve my cooking skills…or lack of them.
Half of my kitchen magic was shipped
off to my sister this week. He’ll love watching her stand on her hands during a
meditative, yoga state instead of pulling me through yet another fallen soufflé.
The other half? She’s going with me to Mexico so the pressure is all on her. In fact, I now have great expectations
for my mole.
After
months of the same routine, don’t you think a change of scenery will be good
for our cooking?
Stay tuned and Bon
Appetit!
