post type post.

I'm feeling this chatty foodtalk vibe right now and managed to find pictures and everything so you've been warned, here goes. Statistically, I think I've cooked eggs more than any other food but apart from breakfast eggs I almost always cook dinner if I'm trying something new. I like to testrun the food by people who will both eat it stoically and tell me if it could've been better, plus I can't eat a lot of anything I've made so it helps to have stoic eaters around. The real truth is, however, that I'm a baker at heart and would much rather give folks cake than meat, which annoys my folks a little because they'd much rather eat an egg as an egg.

I also almost always never have photos of food because it's a pain in the ass trying to get food to photograph well. These are the only two dishes I have photos of right now, there were some life-altering shots of pancakes with nutella but I can't find them so I'm putting up the two that really made me happy, an improvised shakshouka and coastal mango-chicken curry, both from last year.

I thought I'd make spaghetti and meatballs the next time I felt like cooking, they're ridiculously easy, but I had this brilliant thing at Casa Toscana the other day that I'm going to figure out if it kills me - spinach ravioli with mushroom sauce. I've also been thinking of making brunch on a Sunday just to see if I can because I WILL SELL MY SOUL FOR BREAKFAST, that is how much I love it.

Of course the fact that I found the recipe for baked french toast has nothing to do with this.

Such a long post. Verbose, but long. I call that improvement.
