Stacy in a very nice voicemail pointed out that I've been neglecting the blog. It is true. I've been a little uninspired in the cooking department because I'm between kitchens. My version of cooking has been carrots and hummus or apples and peanut butter. But I have been dreaming up my next project (veggie burgers.)
Anyway Stacy suggested this post. I'm leaving for a conference tomorrow morning, but if I weren't I'd be making red beans and rice and king cake and trying to coax my coworkers to come over for dinner. I'm still going to devote a solid hour of packing/butt shaking in honor of my hometown.
Here's a recipe for king cake. (The only thing that is tricky is that this is basically a sweet yeast bread. So the yeast has to be alive (it will react to hot sugar water) and, like a bowl of goldfish, it doesn't like to be left anywhere drafty or sunny or cold or hot.

MMMM-MMMmmm. Thank gooness I'm so harsh!
Love that goldfish line. And your booty-shake.
I haven't been inspired either, but I did make your baby bran muffins (from earlier post).
Two things:
1. Do not substitute, no matter how lazy you are, fava bean flour. Go to the damn store and purchase the recommended kind.
2. Do not use one of those stupid silicon muffin pans without paper cups. Your muffins will turn against you real ugly-like.
I think I'll make panettone this weekend. I'm feeling out of season.
