Dinner Fabuloso
Planned for 10 April 2010.
As with the last Big Meal I prepared, I cooked this one out of Marcella Hazan’s classic book. We have so many cookbooks, and I have a mildly psychologically defective completist obsession with cooking my way through at least one of them—preferably, all of them. Yes, this is an impossible goal, at least without sacrificing other, more worthy goals. It’s not like food science and human taste buds are changing at an accelerating rate in this modern era, but somehow the embargo against new culinary ideas does not hold. We keep adding to our impossible library.

Process Different
Yeah. I don’t know anybody at all like this.
About twenty percent of people are born with this “highly sensitive” trait, which may also manifest itself as inhibitedness, or even neuroticism. The trait can be seen in some children who are “slow to warm up” in a situation but eventually join in, need little punishment, cry easily, ask unusual questions or have especially deep thoughts.
