Pam - What time? I will look for you!

Mary - Do you live in one of those weird Fluff-free towns?

A reminder? I had no fluffing idea there was any such thing so close by.

(Would I be a hypocrite if I brought the whole family but then refused to ever buy it for them? I have to keep up appearances as a mean mommy.)

I don't know yet... JP Open Studios is the same day, so I have to figure out when I'm going there...

You should be tasting: Cardamom

This is how our tongues taste cardamom:

Cardamommmmmmm
    Cardamommmm
         Cardamom
           WTF IS THIS SOAP?

Yes, this lovely spice is lovely only sparingly. Too much of a good thing ends up tasting like you ate a small cake of Crabtree & Evelyn hand soap.

Use it lightly and make Mor's Boller as often as possible.

You should be eating: Braised Chicken Meatballs

Image
This was an impulse order at the Dumpling Cafe on Washington Street in Boston.

(True story: when I was telling my Mom where it was, I used the Naked i as a point of reference.)

I'd actually gone for the xiao long bao (broth filled dumplings) also known as "Juicy Buns", which they are famous for apparently. Hey, better late to the party than to not party at all, right?


Because I did my homework, I knew to load one on to the spoon and then to nibble a little hole and suck out the piping hot broth. That is a tip that you will thank me for later, I promise you.

There is no time that biting down enthusiastically into a bun filled with scalding hot filling and broth will reward you in any way.

Also I knew from my homework that the key was to order everything at once while the waitstaff was near you. So in a panic I ordered the braised chicken meatballs.

What a treat! They come with baby bok choy and a plate of rice. I totally think you should go eat them right now.

In the night kitchen with Les Dames d'Escoffier

Image
So I fell off the blog writing horse, and then the horse ran away and left me to wander in the writers desert. It's hard to write all the time when you do it because you feel like it because sometimes you just don't feel it, y'know?

But then I was invited to join the Boston chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier and after the annual meeting last night at Forge Baking Company, I remembered that I do actually like writing randomly about food and things related to eating, drinking, and basically being merry.



 The Forge space is gorgeous. It's in a strip mall between a dance studio and a Chinese restaurant, you really don't expect this space in there.

Also, you wouldn't expect it to be as homey as it was, it was a great space for a bunch of Dames to get together and catch up.



A few words from incoming President Louisa Kasdon, ever encouraging people to talk about food.


Followed by a croissant making demo with Lourdes Smith (yep, THAT Lourdes Smith) in the Forge kitch…
