My birthday month is fast approaching, so I figured it was time for me to put together my annual list of demands, erm.. I mean, wish list for Colby. Also, I should be studying right now, but I am a super wonderful procrastinator.
I really want a bike for riding around Alameda. Since Alameda is completely flat and the speed limit is 25 MPH in most places, I don't need anything fancy. Therefore, I want something cute. Like, super cute.
Over the past couple of years, I've noticed that whenever I've tried a
Yotam Ottolenghi recipe, it's been a great success. Next on my list to try is his
caramelized garlic tart. And now I want all of his cookbooks and have my Julie/Julia moment with him, except that Julie/Yotam is not nearly as alliterative.
Ottolenghi: The Cookbook - Recipes from his restaurants
Jerusalem: A Cookbook - Written with Sami Tamimi, explores the cuisine of their home city
Plenty - Features all vegetarian recipes
Plenty More - Follow up to Plenty
I've been getting into coffee again. I still haven't found a good replacement for my beloved
Epoch, so making coffee at home is a must. I prefer pourover style to coffee machines and a gooseneck kettle allows for much better control. Even better than a gooseneck kettle? An electric kettle. Because I'm lazy.
