I'm far from being an expert, but now I don't feel like I'm throwing potatoes at sharp objects until something comes out edible. Want to know how to boil water, hold a knife properly, or what al dente means? Bittman has you covered. Bittman explains basic techniques and tips really well. Plus, I liked how detailed How to Cook Everything was, without talking down to you. If you ask me if I want to go out for Mexican food, the answer is always yes, but making my own meals more often has been noticeably better for my budget and my waistline. I feel decently capable of making my own meal, even if the meal isn't 100% perfect or made entirely from scratch. I haven't lost any digits, haven't cut myself at all actually! Which I feel is impressive for someone who once cut her face on a peephole. And I still haven't made a pancake that doesn't have the consistency of a flip flop. Sometimes what I make tastes good, but it looks a bit like it was dropped from a great height. I screwed up a dip recipe by making it so spicy literally no one was able to eat it. I still have a deep affection for take out pizza. November: So I've had this cookbook roughly three months. I can bake sweets that will make you cry mercy and beg for just one more hit. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Kennedy an unfinished lifeHe uncovered another player in a long line of Kennedy presidential peccadilloes, a "tall, slender, beautiful, 19-year-old college sophomore and White House intern," who, ironically, got the job after she interviewed Jacqueline Kennedy for her college newspaper - and is now universally known to be Marion, aka Mimi, Fahnestock.ĭallek, a Boston University history professor and author of a two-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson, One of his major revelations has already been exploited by the media.
