Latest Obsessions

*First Aid Kit-This Old Routine
Swedish sisters making songs that have me wishing
that my sisters and I could sing. Perfect soundtrack for
this time of year.

*Cranberry Vanilla Coffee Cake
From Lottie & Doof. Made this yesterday and
it turned out perfectly. I recommend using fresh
cranberries.


*Learning about Burgundy.
So many things to memorize. Communes, vineyards, producers, vintages...
The bonus of studying wine is that drinking is a form of learning.
Last night we had a 2004 Bruno Colin Les Gravieres, Santenay 1er Cru.
I had forgotten what the vintage was and could not believe it when
the husband told me that it was almost a decade old.  The acidity was
so fresh and still pretty bold.  We're going to get another bottle and
cellar it for a few more years and see what happens.


*Finding some vintage Indian cookbooks
It's another cuisine that I find slightly overwhelming
but LOVE to eat. So I'll be heading to my favorite cookbook
shops in the city and finding a good starter guide.
