Bon Appetempt makes complex cooking appear possible and missteps tolerable, even fun! <br />With every Attempt I read I take a baby-step closer to cooking.<br />I am taking my time, moving slowly and deliberately towards my kitchen.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15381354219405378609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-33576668016008686382010-02-13T10:07:06.821-08:002010-02-13T10:07:06.821-08:00alright...i emailed her a link to it. lets see if she bites. thanks!Eva / Sycamore Street Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05473612753403446630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-89457975349355458302010-02-13T08:24:50.933-08:002010-02-13T08:24:50.933-08:00Thanks, Eva, and hey, the Mom Blog is still alive (http://whywontyoureadmyblogmom.blogspot.com/).

What happened to your blog that was all about getting your mom to read your blog? That was you, wasn&#39;t it? I wanted to show it to my mom for the same reason...Eva / Sycamore Street Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05473612753403446630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-29455799747703055362010-02-09T06:49:16.182-08:002010-02-09T06:49:16.182-08:00My husband arranged a Risotto cooking class for my birthday one year and we left the class with a book of Risotto recipes from the restaurant, one of which involved black squid ink. I made a mushroom/pea risotto the other night and came across the aforementioned squid ink recipe and was very curious about it and its taste. I hate to tell you that now that you told me it tastes and smells like the ocean? Never going to try it! That&#39;s the exact reason I don&#39;t eat seafood is because of that taste and smell!! Oh well. Clearly this post was very informative and useful for me :) Keep up the good work!legeytimatehttp://legeytimate.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-41703820382280493232010-02-08T15:38:41.903-08:002010-02-08T15:38:41.903-08:00first of all, that meal looks sick. you totally had me at squid ink. secondly, loved the announcement but I think the shift in your viewpoint became clear about several months ago somewhere in between &quot;i&#39;m going to make organic eclairs and dip them in gold&quot; and &quot;maybe i&#39;ll make homemade marshmallows for the holidays this year.&quot; And thirdly, the nail polish is called Geranium by the brand Essie and it&#39;s LITERALLY my life. I die. Like, I&#39;m actually dead.

I think we should congratulate you--you embarked on a culinary adventure and were open enough to all that entails that you fell in love with cooking and food at its best. <br /><br />You&#39;re an inspiration, ya know that? Thanks for wowing me with all your kitchen know-how this weekend. You&#39;re an even COOLER friend now and I never thought that was possible.<br /><br />But I have one request: PLEASE don&#39;t stop poking fun at Martha Stewart. PLEASE.Mary Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02465919515883858255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-16744888270768662642010-02-08T12:27:18.635-08:002010-02-08T12:27:18.635-08:00Amelia,<br />Can I just say, I love your culinary point of view and always love reading through your adventures! I&#39;m the same way as far as drooling over the beautiful magazine pics of food, but really appreciate the honesty and &quot;real&quot; spin you put on the meals. Also, I&#39;m totally gonna pick up some SQUID INK for my next kitchen adventure. Thanks again for sharing your insight!<br />-JessJessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03128665076560854005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-91496857324111678282010-02-08T11:47:45.804-08:002010-02-08T11:47:45.804-08:00By what I see here, you are running circles around Project Runway models and Food Network Stars...<br /><br />Both the risotto and chocolate tart look amazing... I think you would do well in any of the &quot;project&quot; or &quot;food&quot; challenges. You would definitely not be chopped!George Gastonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14788686834764003341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-27156350534250426092010-02-08T09:59:51.214-08:002010-02-08T09:59:51.214-08:00I&#39;m jealous that you went to Seattle w/out me, but the risotto looks incredible.
