What Rick is cooking

Now that I have found Rick Bayless's Twitter feed, I am hooked on checking out what he's cooking (or his daughter, who is doing Monday-night suppers at home to get ready for college--somehow I don't think what she's making is the sort of thing I fixed in college). Click the photo for description.

Later today I will be posting, but probably not photographing, what I am cooking tonight.

Two new Wake Forest grads wandered into our good pizza place in Ferney last night and sat down at the table next to us. They looked to be about 12. Just starting a trip through Europe. Bought their dinner, gave them some advice on how to get around, and a good time was had by all. They vowed to keep their WFU shirts on all through their trip, just in case they should run into other alums!

Dessert tonight?

This is what Rick Bayless is having (click on the photo to see description). . . . Alas, not at #9, I fear.
