Well, hello there!

It's been a long, long time since we've had a Take One Cookbook... post. And, recently, I've MOVED.

The best thing about the new apartment: it has a full-sized oven, something I've sorely missed in the last twenty-one years. I'm going to be able to bake things properly again, and I'm psyched about it.

I also, of course, moved all my cookbooks, and was reminded (1) how many I have; and (2) how awesome (and sometimes weird) they are. Seems like the right triggers to start this blog back up again, no?

In the meanwhile, I need to figure out what I'm bringing to a 4th of July cook out. I'm dithering between:

  • ham & pickle rollups (aka Midwestern Sushi)
  • composed salad of watermelon, feta, and mint
  • tortilla pinwheels, possibly filled with pickle dip, possibly pickle dip with ham
Readers, chime in if you have opinions.

Since last posting, our dear corgi Puck died, and our dear corgi Sancho joined the family. Also new and likely to show up in pictures: Mycroft, the very dignified black cat.
