Posting some of my old drafts:

Attempted to make an angel cake, there are no pictures because it collapsed into a hot mess. Many months later I learned that my oven is a waste of space and doesn't actually have the right temperature, ever. However the lemon curd was such a hit so here's the recipe. I saved some tangerine juice from the fruits at my parent's house to make some curd in the future, or maybe even some grapefruit.

Super Bowl savorings

Superbowl recap, we tried to cook wings for the first time, did a couple batches of fried wings and a couple in the oven, all delicious. For wing recipes check out http://pinterest.com/xquach/wings/

Pizza dough for the impatient...

I crave pizza, on a daily basis. Thin crust from the oven, a little charred from the pizza stone... Slices of mozzarella... pesto... deliciousness. Peter Reinhart's recipe is great, but it takes 2 days, as psychology has enlightened me, the effort (Time to wait, cleaning dishes) required is too much for me to handle, so instead of making myself wait, I just deprive myself. I couldn't take it anymore so I found a quick recipe.
Well we shall see, new recipe from here

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil
