Dear Mary Alice,

I'd love to come over and build you a 100th episode cake.

Unfortunately this week I'm working on the LOST series finale.

Sincerely,

Jorge

P.S. But in a few weeks my schedule's gonna be WIDE open.

Dining in the Dark

Last week we went to

for their Dining in the Dark event they do every Monday.

We were given blindfolds

and lead into the dining room.

They brought us five courses complete with pairings and we smelled and tasted them all without seeing any of them until the entire meal was over.

The whole experience was a lot of fun and the food was excellent. I decided to be safe and wear my napkin

and it looked like it was a good idea.

Although they give you silverware to use you find yourself using your fingers more and more. Good thing they gave us hot towels at the end.

Hey. The Black Pearl's in Town

I got a good look at it at work the other day.

Looks Like I'm Going To Be A Bobble

Thought I'd get this out there before I start hearing it from everybody. Interesting choice, but I think it should read "Hugo" Reyes if this is the outfit they're going with. I'm just saying.

Quote From Beth

"Make the good old bread... days.

Don't make those nasty wheat breads anymore."

She wants the Lahey bread.

Oops!

I think I just rejected all the comments instead of approving. Sorry if that happened to yours.

BTW Still Baking

Today I baked my first whole wheat bread. It's great. I look forward to toasting it tomorrow. It came out of this book. I wanted to go back to baking with the starter I had created. This white baguette came from the book too.

I ended up buying this book too because I kept hearing about it.

It's a good book but I just wish the recipes included weight measurements as well, I just think weight is more accurate when it comes to flour and salt.

For me Jim Lahey's bread recipe is still my favorite.
