i wish i liked hot lips pizza, because it seems to be the go-to pizza of events.

if you put a mason jar lid in the bottom of a pan, you can use it to create a scrambled egg disk that is perfect for an egg/cheese breakfast biscuit. now i have to make more biscuits.

i've lived my whole life thinking palmiers are totally incomprehensible. about as good as those butter cookie tins which aren't even worth eating, tasteless and dry.

then, two timely miracles: i ate a palmier i didn't hate at a recent event, and i ran across a stunningly simple recipe for them. two ingredients: puff pasty & sugar. and i suddenly realized: THAT'S THE WHOLE SECRET. good puff pastry makes good palmiers.

i keep a supply of good puffy pastry in our freezer, the kind that tastes like something other than book pages kept in a dusty room. the one i get from grand central bakery tastes richly of butter and crisps to a toothsome golden brown. and sure enough, they make incredible palmiers.

a secret like this requires great restraint and judicious portion control. i hope to acquire those traits quickly.

sven & i made grape juice today from the grapes on our porch.

"that's probably not something i would eat again," sven said. "it's got some weird seafood flavors." i had just fed him a bite from my bowl of pasta w/ spinach & pine nuts. i thought it was pretty good.

breakfast burritos are better with sausage, but they're pretty good without. i dice a small potato, cover it with water, and by the time they are done cooking in the microwave, the rest of the burrito is ready to be assembled. i use the salsa from the farmers market, scrambled eggs and grated cheddar. it rolls up into a substantial stubby lump which is tossed into the toaster oven for a little crisping.

biscuit sandwiches are very satisfying and easy to make if one keeps frozen biscuits in the freezer.

WHY do people put whole peppercorns in sauces? I picked most of them out but I would discover I missed one when I bit into something that was like a spicy dusty bone that crumbles into dust when you pick it up from the side of the road.
