« Pasta with onions and peppers | Hot chocolate is not hot cocoa »
As is so often the case when I am in the throes of academic work, the domestic sphere has been slipping. The apartment, kitchen, and refrigerator are in a rather alarming state, and Annie's macaroni and cheese from a box has been taking an increasingly prominent role in our diet. Cleaning and grading are the order of the day today, and when those are done, perhaps I will be able to treat us to something nice to eat.
The scant cooking news in the meantime: Last weekend, we went to the Georgetown Dean and Deluca, and replenished my stock of elderflower syrup. Since then, the main kitchen event has been the arrival of a spiffy Le Crueset buffet casserole, obtained on super-sale, in which I have made a dandy gratin of potatoes, leeks, and rutabega. I am becoming ever more devoted to Le Crueset products, which is unfortunate given their hefty price tags. But boy, are they super.
