Well, my aspic turned out pretty good. It looks pretty good as one piece, and it tastes good, but when you slice it, it leaves something to be desired. Just needs a little more color. The yellow beets overwhelmed the delicate greens in the fennel. Maybe I just need some bell pepper in there, or…

Today is so wonderful. I am happy and full of adventure. I’ve been dreaming of the perfect aspic and am putting my culinary instincts to the test. I’m attempting an aspic with yellow beets, fennel, and rhubarb. It is a daring combination and I am excited not knowing if it will fly or flop. Ever…

Hi, My mini vacation was wonderful and I’m scrambling to get caught up with life in SF. Highlight: I learned how to do a backflip off the diving board! So here are lots of pictures to look at: Torodel photos from July 2006 I drove to Pacific Grove to see the Mail Me! show at…

How hot is it? It’s so hot, it feels like being trapped in a car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. I went to the Lisa Coscino Gallery in Pacific Grove (next door to Monterey). I’ve got a few pieces up in the “Mail me” show, which consists of little 4×6 paintings…

I’m at torodel for 4 days of relaxation and experimentation with aspics. I have 32 packets of gelatin and a lot of time on my hands. Tomorrow will be tomato and eggplant aspic with fresh pesto.
