I don’t know why, but I had always thought tiramisu was a really complicated recipe, like, souffle-level-difficulty … I actually got around to making it this weekend (after finally tracking down ladyfingers – international foods aisle!), and discovered that it’s the easiest ever. It’s a no-bake, layer-it-up-and-stick-it-in-the-fridge-And-You’re-Done! recipe… who knew? Anyways, it turned out great, and didn’t stay around our house longer than a day :) Ah, well, it was good while it lasted.
Fun, though, I’d make it again – and, easy to make or not, it sounds kind of… sophisticated. (So, brownie points if you’re cooking for people who are easily impressed.) :)

Well, I just had a big, outdoorsy day today! I woke up this morning feeling chipper (heh), and decided to go out for a bike ride – I actually ended up biking 20 miles, which is a huge accomplishment for me, whose normal daily exercise is roaming around the house and opening the fridge (that’s barely an exxageration – how embarrassing.) – it was really refreshing to get some fresh air, and get the heart going a little…
I feel so rustic... I’ll be sore and resentful of my ambition tomorrow, but hopefully later in the week I’ll be able to get out on the bike again – that was fun!

And… what else? I’ll have a pottery wheel that I’ll putter with occasionally, and read cross-legged in a chair out on the porch. In the kitchen, I’ll make french toast and read the paper with my attractively graying husband, and on holidays, our kids and their kids will all come to stay with us, and we’ll have wacky holiday hijinks together (like in the movies!)
It’ll be grand.
