If Dorie Greenspan thinks that just because she publishes a souped up, fancy schmancy, new and improved recipe for gourgeres I’m going to kick her oldest recipe for gourgeres the curb, well, she has another thing coming. (“My Newest Gourgeres”, page 8, “Everyday Dorie: The Way I Cook”)
No ma’am. I am way too loyal to her classic recipe! I won’t turn my back on the faithful, classic recipe I fell in love with just because some shiny new version comes to town and winks at me while showing me her ample poufs.
Oh, and wink at me these newest gourgeres do! Who knew that younger-model gourgeres would be the temptresses they are? Ms. Greenspan certainly knows how to turn on her savory wiles and seduce even the most resistant gourgeres monogamist. With only a few bumps and grinds to the original recipe she had me forgetting all about the commitment I made to her original recipe.
FACT: Dorie has been turning my head for eight years now! It is this history together which causes such conflict when confronted with these sexy newest gourgeres. How can anyone resist these delicious, sexy, flavorful mouthfuls of pleasure? How does one stay faithful to one’s first love when the honeymoon is over?

I need to get out my step stool in order to conjure gems like this Aperol Tequila cocktail.
Way up high, back in The Inconvenient Cabinet sitting behind the refrigerator, you will just over a dozen bottles of booze. These aren’t my “main squeeze” libations, no, these bottles are the rather queer stash of alcoholic this-and-thats I couldn’t say goodbye to. I think of these oddballs as my alcoholic booty calls — quite ready to satisfy me at a moment’s notice, but knowing never to ask for any real commitment from me. If they were ever bold enough to ask for a permanent place in the main pantry I would toss them out of my cabinet (and life) tout de suite.
For now they benefit from my general unwillingness to say goodbye and the knowledge that once day, as it always does, I will require a quick thrill without the request for main pantry fidelity.
When that moment inevitably happens I will get a step stool, crawl up to The Inconvenient Cabinet and cruise around the dusty neglected bottles to look for a quickie.
Aperol knows the rules.

I can’t say I know much about the differences, if any, between ice pops and paletas. I don’t consider myself an expert at either. “Expert” is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. I’ve been making paletas, especially these Lime Berry Paletas, every summer ever since some wonderful company, I can’t now remember the […]

A Food Revolution! French Fridays with Dorie Curried Chicken en Papillote should hardly be considered a revolutionary act. But then neither should being able to feed yourself. Sadly, the latter now seems to be. Or at least so says none other than Jamie Oliver, who has taken it upon himself to start a global campaign purposed […]

French Friday’s with Dorie When we started with French Fridays with Dorie nearly 5 years ago, it didn’t take very long for me to realize there would be assignments which would not do much to inspire my writing. I would dutifully cook the dish as required. Then I would do my best to take a […]

If you read this blog or any of those written by my fellow Doristas as of late, you must be wondering if you have stumbled upon one of the most protracted goodbyes in literary history. We posted our “final assignment” more than three weeks ago. Yet here we are still wading through our memories, posting […]
