I made cornbread from scratch last night. Not from-the-box variety. The real deal. Using the Moosewood Cookbook recipe. Cornmeal, flour, yogurt, honey, egg, the whole shebang. And it was actually delicious. This is a big deal because I never cook (aside from the occasional egg ‘n cheese bagel sandwich and making my own cheese sandwiches or veggie burgers for lunch). I’m lucky enough to have a wife who not only loves to cook, but is kick-ass at it. Over the course of our relationship, Jen has whipped up countless kitchen delights. Last night it’s not like cornbread was the main course; it was simply the side to Jen’s stellar veggie chili (also from the Moosewood).
Last Labor Day we found ourselves in Ithaca, so we hit the famous Moosewood Restaurant. As I wrote at the time, it was a disappointing and overpriced experience (sadly, too often the trend on this coast, especially after living in San Francisco for five years).
Finally, what’s up with all the blogs going on hiatus lately? Huh, Dan and Phil?
