Tenacious Flog
 
Tuesday, September 2

 
Getting back into trying new things. This weekend I made a flourless lemon-almond cake, and it kind of sucked. I think it turned out as it should have, but it just wasn't a very compelling item on its own. And I definitely do not want to be making things that require a sauce or accompaniment to even make it passable. In the interest of never throwing a dessert away, however, I will likely make a blueberry sauce for the 3 little cakes I have remaining.

Perhaps flourless and chocolate go best together. Or, I found a recipe for a lemon pudding cake - that might be better. I think the almonds overwhelmed the flavor of the cake from this weekend.

I am also getting pretty damn good at basic pasta sauces - white and tomato based, to be specific. Haven't yet gotten up the arterial space to do a true alfredo sauce, so milk based has been the norm for my white sauces thus far.
