Slow and funny.
Nov. 17th, 2014 08:42 pmLast night I made gado-gado from The Moosewood Cookbook, and I can't stop wondering if it'd be within the bounds of the guiding philosophies of said cookbook to adapt the recipe for meat inclusion. Because the recipe calls for two tablespoons of butter, and I have that much leftover schmaltz, so adapting it to have chicken instead of tofu for protein would be simple, and delicious.
Would that violate the entire base of ethics upon which the recipe was originally created? Or would that simply be pragmatic of me, to take advantage of what I have in the fridge, as the cookbook's recipe is simply one of thousands of methods of making the dish to begin with?
As for news from today, I finished up a large project for my job, which means, barring any finicky things tomorrow, I should be done with it for the year. A fringe benefit of working for an academic organization: no work whatsoever for August and December. Of course, the time's probably just going to go to farmer's markets, baking, job hunting and writing. But it'll be nice to know the time doesn't have to go to something else first.
