Obsessions

This month has been filled with too much for me. Too many new things. Too many new discoveries. I don't even know what to post. I made a dutch baby, risotto, creamed tomatoes, a tortilla, saffron aioli, biscuits and gravy - and that's just the beginning.

I do know that I have a few new staples in my life. I've lost my hyper obsession with trying new recipes, but I've maintain my willingness to eat. I think Thanksgiving beat that obsession out of me - I had a bad experience with some pumpkin brownies (wayyy to dry, but Evan claims that the next day they were ok).

I eat a lot of pan seared broccoli. I consume insane amounts of it. It's probably my favorite thing. I buy a head every week. It takes 8 minutes, including prep time. How can you argue a green food?

Have you heard about the wonders of hollandaise sauce? Oh man, it is beautiful. Evan and I are putting it on everything - we even put it on top of spinach. He was the one who said "Hey, if you open the jar, you need to use it in 7-10 days!"

But I need something new. So, help me friends. Help.
