Description

I just started this last night and I love it. The author, the owner of a lovely, but upscale restaurant, talks about food and cooking in a very down to earth way. Her premise is that anyone can cook and the only things you need are good ingredients (especially fresh local produce/herbs), good equipment (but not necessarily the most expensive), and the basic know-how. All of these things are explained and detailed in her book which reads nicely (particularly at 2:00 a.m. when you're on the couch making sure the new puppy doesn't wake the house!). In the same vein, the recipes here will produce good results (good food, respect for the land, community) if you first take the time and care to seek out good ingredients, then actually take the time and care to prepare, cook and enjoy them.

This isn't so much a "cookbook" as it is a book that tries to educate on how to approach food differently, to get our minds out of the increasingly fast-food mentality. A harag a legkisebb dologtól felbőszít minket, és amikor csak adódik, másokon vezetjük le. A tudatlanság az ostobaság állapota: nem használjuk sem a józan eszünket, sem ismereteinket, és hiányos a tanultságunk - valójában azonban saját, valódi Buddha-természetünket nem értjük." Nem, én ezeket a mondatokat nem értem. Dologtól? Mi adódik? A micsoda hiányos? És hogy került ide ez az ellentmondás a végére, ki állított mást előtte? És hol? Az oldal alján még az is kiderül, hogy "[e]z megakadályozhatja, hogy az áfium a hatalmába kerítsen." Az. However, as I started to make the first dishes I found that for actually cooking/baking this format is easier and better thought out than the more traditional method I am used to. I do note that when shopping for ingredients and making sure you have everything you need for the dish it does require a little more effort - not a significant enough reason not to prefer this way of setting out a recipe. I won’t give a play-by-play of all those early months, but after the first year, I asked a few friends to contribute posts every now and then, and that decision transformed this place to a community-focused blog, where I was never the single expert. It’s never had a year since that first one, 2008, when it was just me. That I can’t remember one shot in my life where I manipulated a swing in the downswing and actually hit the shot I wanted. Instead, when you Let Go, the results can be amazing.

Success!

As I mentioned, the last post will be on the last day this year — so, we’ve still got all of 2020 ahead of us here. And I have every intention of making this its best year yet! I'm being biased in my star rating because this isn't really a great cookbook by any means. I just love Alice Waters and appreciate her purpose in writing this.

I’ll give you a peek behind the curtain with my thought processes of saying goodbye to something I built from scratch (though I’ll admittedly be more detailed and frequent about this topic in my newsletter), I’ll write a monthly series of letters to myself ten years ago (which is when this blog really took off), I’ll share a monthly countdown of AoS’ most popular posts of all time (the top three are all over ten years old!), and as always, the regular contributors will continue to share their fantastic essays. Together, we’ll write about places we love, books and podcasts we’re into, and our current thoughts about relationships, work, travel, and community. In principle, you do not really need more than two: a global equity fund and a broad bond fund in your own currency, with the relative amounts a function of your return needs, ability to withstand short-term drawdowns, and need to control long-term risk on your ultimate portfolio. This gives you very good diversification, clarity and simplicity on what you are holding, and high liquidity with minimum costs if held through passive funds, mutual or exchange traded (ETFs). Are there any superior assets left that you should systematically overweight in a strategic portfolio? Like the podcast, I want to end this space well, on my terms, while it’s still a thing I’m proud of — so I’m not making this decision because I no longer think it’s good. In fact, I think last year was one of our best years. Within each of these three categories he has excellent vides broken down into the following categories:

There's a spying quality to this book--part of its appeal for me is that it feel like I've gained access to Alice Waters at home. And yet there was something a tiny bit disappointing in it. I suspect that it's a perfect book for someone who is just learning the basic cooking techniques. But for a more intermediate level cook, most of this is fairly familiar, and if you already own The Joy of Cooking, The Best Recipe, and A New Way to Cook, its territory is already covered. When I announced last November about the final three episodes of Simple, I had this post in mind, wondering how on earth I would begin it. I’d actually been drafting it in my head slowly since last September when I knew it was coming. But now that it’s finally time to hit publish, I hardly know where to begin. Perhaps more responsible than anyone for the revolution in the way we eat, cook, and think about food, Alice Waters has “single-handedly chang[ed] the American palate” according to the New York Times . Her simple but inventive dishes focus on a passion for flavor and a reverence for locally produced, seasonal foods. The start is nice, in that she lays out what ingredients (herbs, for instance) and equipment should be on hand for effective cooking. One simple example: the author's emphasis at several points on the value of a good supply of fresh aromatic foods to enhance flavors in a recipe (e.g., onions, carrots, and celery). Then, she discusses how to plan menus and entertain friends for dinner. Not recipes, but useful context.

Van benne némi toxikus pozitivitás is, ahogy már fentebb is kiderült. Azért a minden nap jó nap hozzáállás nem egészséges, azt gondolom. Vannak igazán sz.r napok, hadd ne tapsikoljunk, hogy egyszeri és megismételhetetlen nap, ha épp valami tragédia ér bennünket. Például.
