Recovery

Things have been pretty lazy around here since thanksgiving. Chef Cedric has finally finished his massive bloody mary.

We didn't take too many food pictures this year. We were more concerned with eating it than documenting it.

Here are our appetizers though:

 

 And here are my pumpkin creme brulees hanging out in their water bath the night before.

And here's one after I torched it! 

I used Emeril's recipe, but I cut the spices in half to avoid it tasting too much like pumpkin pie. It was pretty good, but I think I prefer more subtle flavors for creme brulee.

Since then, we've just been eating and spending time with friends. Oh, and grading. Always grading.


And waiting for it to snow. Ahem, Spokane. Snow. Maybe?
