i made a baked alaska yesterday out of pure whimsy. forgot about the implications of having a ice creme based dessert and so i had to throw it out after one piece because i'm an idiot and baked alaska doesn't have a shelf life. however, the crème brûlée i made this morning is a keeper.

good morning everyone. last night i watched what must be the best movie of 2007, luc besson's angel-a. luc besson who directed leon and the fifth element among other such wonderfully visually vibrant films. 2007 was a terrible year for movies, it was full of random and bad sequels,big budget, yet highly mediocre action movies (of which, die hard or ( Read more... )

strange question: what is the best way to clean cooking shears? the dishwasher doesn't seem save enough and i'm afraid of not cleaning them right by hand. autoclave? boiling water?
