I made rather unsuccessful spaetzle, and really, really yummy sweet potato chunks with sage. Also dry sauteed garlic green beans.

I love cardamom and fresh black pepper and dill and caraway, ajvar and pesto and creamy chipotle magical orange sauce and really good mustard and quince jam, and Haagen Daz’s five ingredient lemon icecream.

I’ve had a surprisingly lot of success with girls and pumpkin pie. I don’t particularly care whether a girl cooks for me, as long as she makes lots of appreciative noises when I cook for her and also offers constructive criticism.
