I finally made some bacon ice cream and it was surprisingly inspired by the Jade Peony by Weston Choy: http://www.somethinglemon.com/?p=300.

Came back from Oregon Truffle Festival http://www.oregontrufflefestival.com/ and am now going through truffle withdrawal. What do you mean I can't have black truffle shaved on country bread toast with butter and fleur de sel for breakfast?? Sigh. I guess cereal will do.
If you are in Oregon, I would highly recommend attending this festival. In 2 days I consumed 17 courses of delicious truffle goodness + wine. Oh, so much wine!

Hey Toronto, I am wanting to make a move to TO from Vancouver. Any recommendations for recruiting companies? I'm finding it difficult to do my job search effectively, long distance. Thanks.

I went back to school after having gotten some experience and found that something wonderful happened: what I was doing at work related to school, and what I was learning in school I could apply to my work environment and see first hand what the outcomes where. It was great!!

I love it when I read books that influence my life and change my habits. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle has totally changed the way I eat. http://www.somethinglemon.com/?p=122
After my sourdough adventures, am now delving into cheese. Anyone here ever attempted to make cheese? Any tips?
Jenn Sutherland:

We now belong to 2 organic CSAs (one veg, one animal), and I try to buy as much local as I can, and look to minimally processed/packaged when I can't. My mom used to make a fresh farmers cheese by simply draining greek yogurt for a day or two. I don't eat much dairy, so I haven't done it myself.

We read it for a global health class that I took and I instantly changed the way I look at food! I don't know if I could handle making cheese, I've heard the smell turns you off from eating it. Good luck though!

Finished Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and can't stop thinking about it. It inspired me to make sourdough bread, make my own cheese, go to farmers markets, and completely change the way I look at food. You can find my review here: http://www.somethinglemon.com/?p=122

Thanks for sharing your blog and nutmeg defense Mojgan! I'll dare to use a bit more of it in my cook/baking in 2010. And as a random factoid, did you know nutmeg can also be psychotropic? The poor man's ecstasy as it were... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg#Use_as_a_Recreational_Drug
Here's to a Happy New Year and a delectable one at that!
Mojgan Fay:
Oh, thanks for the information. I didn't know.
Was just thinking nutmeg ice cream would be a good addition to a wintery Pear Tarte Tatin.

Thanks for your reply Luke! I think you are right in that it had grown too long. I just threw out half and fed the other half some water and flour.
Will see how it goes.

I attempted to make sourdough starter. It looked promising: doubled in size, bubbles forming. I got excited!
Then when I went to feed it this morning, it had shrunk to half its size.
What does this mean? Should I start from scratch again? Is this salvageable? Normal?
What happened?
Luke Berg:

Making starter is something I'd like to do in the next month though.
If it grew for too long, the liquid at the bottom will ferment and kill the yeast.
It might have ran out of sugar and / or water.
My suggestion, Cut it in half, cook half and try to grow the other half.
Try different things out, if you figure out what went wrong let us know. I'd love to hear.

Somewhere under the heaviness of the black skirts of Mary Boulton I struggled to breathe. Gil Adamson’s descriptions of the woods and mountains in THE OUTLANDER are lyrical and painterly, but also dark as we follow this self-widowed, almost witch-like, maybe even mad, Mary through the woodland — fleeing. I loved the book for the writing style, the Martha-like behaviour it inspired in me, and the many thoughts of stew! http://www.somethinglemon.com/?p=1
