the thing is...

i've lost my notebook wherein i had outlined all my cooking goals. did the dog get to it? is it under the couch? in the pantry? i'll find it, but it's lost right this very... i do plan to make some kick-ass soup this week (i just got back from a week in the chilly north where they have real fall with leaves that turn actual fall colors-- not just green = alive, brown = dead -- and have a mad craving for soups and stews and chili -oh my-) tonight i will prep for bulger and red lentil soup which i will cook tuesday after day of the dead drinks, etc. still planning on choc cake, but since a) it's way past my birthday and b) it's more than a little sad to cook your own birthday cake, i guess i'll bake it for the girl later this month.
