all the things i made during my layoff

Posted: May 11th, 2020 | No Comments »

WOULD MAKE AGAIN:

• pat’s salsa — still so great
• BA’s best banana bread, as mentioned
• snickerdoodles — always +++
• banana everything cookies — vegan and quite good! like a breakfast cookie
• eleven madison park granola — this is my go-to granola, though i cut the salt, and don’t add cranberries, and ross thinks it’s too sweet, but i still think it’s [chef’s kiss]
• simple ribollita — it was AWESOME!
• via carota salad dressing, i was rushing and it turned out pretty meh. but i blame meself and i’ll always love via carota everything.

WOULD NOT PROB MAKE AGAIN:

• BA’s best chocolate chip cookies, but i don’t think i browned the butter right, so they were kind of not anything to repeat
• bucatini with butter-roasted tomato sauce — first: i don’t like bucatini too much, and second: marcella hazan’s tomato sauce totally tops this by a million
• vegan thai curry — very underwhelming, though we cut some corners with the curry paste AND i diced the sweet potato too tiny. so it turned out a bit of a flavorless mush. but who can i blame? THE RECIPE
• kentucky butter cake — not bad, i may have overcooked, but it didn’t WOW me, so: deleted

i was supposed to make a lot of other things (namely, this soup called “roberto”), but i didn’t and now it’s back to eating ice cream for dinner (i hope).
