hello friends

funny thing that heat and pressure, according my sixth grade science teacher or whatever, were the two main forces responsible for the creation of the earth’s underground pretroleum reserve. and now that the global casinos are tanking in the same direction, that’s a lot of what we seem to be feeling as well. heat and pressure.

well, we’ve taken a two week intermission to watch the leaves and numbers pale and twirl in the autumn light, and now i think it’s time to get back on track. i want to have a class next week, a reunion of sorts. anyone is always welcome, of course, but committed students will be given priority. it will be a free event. send me an email to “register” and i will give you the Secret Location. the time will be the same

4-7pm next tuesday, october 28th.

The theme, “reunion”, does not imply any kind of examination. I encourage everyone to bring a vegetable they’ve never cooked (or seen) before. We’ll play together and teach other. It’ll be fun. Maybe I’ll even find a guitar.

After that, we’ll probably start doing classes every other week. The first will be on armistice day (November 11th). The theme is not yet decided — make a suggestion!

and (back to lowercase, you will agree), i’ve posted the recipes (finally) from the last class (Cooking with Mom) so, I think, recipes from all five classes should be online, waiting to splatter upon your kitchen counter.

ankur,

with love

p.s. buy a cookbook. it’s good for the economy
