My second attempt at making super-moist cake from this ultra-gourmet cookbook, and once again I've come up with the world's largest, richest fudge-covered Whoopie Pie. Dang, it's ugly. 10,000 calories of fresh whipped cream & chocolatey ugly, which helps.
Maybe it's just the week: ugly food seems drawn to me. We went out to dinner last night, Deb & I & Deb's brother up from DC, to a Mexican place we'd never been to before. They dimmed the lights right before our food was brought out (bad sign!), then plopped a plate in front of me that had rice, a brown sauce (the beans), and a green sauce that looked like creamed spinach that tasted like a cross between corn starch and "old refrigerator". Little lumps in the green sauce turned out to be the chicken I'd ordered. Ugh ugh UGH.
