Potato Leek Soup

You know what makes the first cold week of fall in San Francisco worthwhile? That's right, Potato Leek Soup. So I made some this evening. I even managed to take some pictures of each step of the process. The soup is delicious by the by.

Mexican Skulls

While she was gone, the lady visited a Mexican sweet shop, which seems like an utterly reasonable thing to do in Mexico. She found these beautiful candy skulls.

Popover Sunday

It's hard to cook for someone with whom you are on drastically different schedules. That's why weekend breakfasts are so nice. Today we had popovers.

Also, it has come to my attention that some of you want recipes of the food I post. I am happy to post recipes upon request. Just ask in the comments.

As for popovers, they are just 4 ounces of milk mixed with an egg, 2 ounces of flour and a pinch of salt. The trick, then, is to preheat the pan while you preheat the oven to 475°. Put a little bit of butter in the bottom of the pan and pour in the batter. Bake at 475° for 10 minutes or so to make them puff up and then reduce the heat to 325° for 20 more minutes. Serve them while they are hot. Add some herbs and cheese for savory popocers.

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Sorry for the break. The lady was gone and not much cooking went on in her absence. Now she's back, and we had whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. Maple syrup too. I snapped a photo of them cooking but not finished. They were gone too quickly.
