I used to refer to her as "The One Who Blathers on Endlessly About Vongerichten."<BR/><BR/>Robin, try the recipe for pasta with preserved tuna from Zuni Cafe. It's one of my go-to dinners when I work late. On weekends when I have more time, I cook the tuna in olive oil as Melissa's recipe instructs, but for a weeknights I use a tin of imported tuna in olive oil. I've made it for friends' kids and it's a hit, although some love olives and hate capers or vice versa. Can't win them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-90837062751253946952009-03-18T09:24:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:24:00.000-07:00If you missed it, here's Melissa's column:http://w...If you missed it, here's Melissa's column:<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/dining/18appe.html?ref=dining<BR/> and the recipe:<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/dining/181arex.html?ref=diningRobin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-11623511160115506842009-03-18T09:22:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:22:00.000-07:00i agree! on all fronts! the dowager cake plate! a...i agree! on all fronts! the dowager cake plate! and i'm totally making that cake tonight.Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-66064450149824331662009-03-18T08:36:00.000-07:002009-03-18T08:36:00.000-07:00i lurved her "secrets of the cake stand" piece in ...i lurved her "secrets of the cake stand" piece in today's NYT. was just reflecting that she has a very girly way of writing, in a good way -- i like the background about her baby's digestive issues and why she's avoiding dairy, and the fact that she got a cake stand for her wedding, etc. she has a really chatty, friendly style i just LIKE. (as opposed to...uh, mrs latte, aka BarrettHead, whose chatty style read as off-putting and showoffy and unsisterly.) always love reading her stuff. and that cake sounded enticing, too.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086300075775926044noreply@blogger.com
