1. Ok, this is from Thursday at the Rosa Mexicano lunch (which was wonderful), but still: beet agua fresca. smileys/smile.gif Delicious.

2. Turned on the broiler tonight (for chicken); later, the AC. So sue me.

3. Ad hoc BBQ/broiled chicken sauce: salt and pepper, olive oil, vinegar, ketchup (only 1 tbsp.), teriyaki, honey, peach jam, minced dried onions. Very good!

4. I know you should participate in blood drives purely for charitable reasons, but I went to one that an acquaintance had organized in Brooklyn, where there had been the intoxicating promise of doughnuts (fru-fru Brooklyn doughnuts!)--yet, in the end, NO DOUGHNUTS. smileys/frown.gif Ah, well.

5. Made lots of bábovka this week. Seriously considering asking my mom to ship my handheld mixer out, since it is impossible for me to properly whip egg whites by hand. And yes, I am too cheap to buy one, having already bought two in the last five years.

6. Already trying to figure out what's for breakfast tomorrow: sweet or savory? smileys/smile.gif

 
Erin, you need a copper bowl and a balloon whisk

and a Julia video to show you how to beat those egg whites by hand.

I've done it...and have also had carpal tunnel release bilaterally subsequently! (probably no relationship)

I know! Believe me, I'd love to go that route. smileys/wink.gif Might have to settle for seeing the movie again.

 
Update: I DID IT. By hand. Some salt, vinegar, and sugar added. smileys/smile.gif Mounds of egg whites!
