N’s Neighborhood

My daughter and I made biscuits this morning.

They were from the old Junior League of Lake Charles cookbook, Pirate's Pantry.
They have a new cookbook out, Marshes to Mansions. My sister has a few recipes in that one. It's odd that my sisters are in Junior League--it seems like such a grown up thing to do...then I remember that we are grown ups!

Thomas Keller is ostensibly the most lauded chef in North America. The French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon... all Michelin Starred. He was in town to promote his book Ad Hoc At Home and I got some good shots and clips of the event. It's most definitely about Keller and less about his book. The book itself is a simpler take on his recipes, but still maintaining his crazy-high standards of cooking. Though it features tips and basics, this is still not quite for the beginner cook.

That's some cream-cheese frosting sandwiched between two pumpkin-spice cakes with a pool of caramel on top.

REALLY GOOD. WANT TO EAT AGAIN. please.
