Even though I don't believe in making resolutions, I did make a New Year's
decision to join in on the fun over at
French Fridays with Dorie, inspired in part (and I believe unbeknownst to her!) by the indefatigable Mardi of
Eat Live Travel Write. Each Friday, members of the group post a predetermined dish from the fan-tabulous Dorie Greenspan book
Around My French Table. I know, I know - as if I don't have enough to do ... but something about the discipline of the project (not to mention the recipes) really appeals to me. It's so easy to get caught up always trying to create that "new now next" recipe, that cooking from an actual
book - not a blog, not a Web site - feels quite comforting and almost old fashioned. Of course, we'll see how well I keep this up once culinary school starts back up, but my intentions are good!
