Food In Literature - What Has Inspired You?
Definitely the Little House books, especially Farmer Boy. When Almanzo's sisters made ice cream and pound cake while their parents were away I was so impressed and envious. In The Long Winter, remember the stacks of beautiful flapjacks Pa found Almanzo and Royal eating while everyone else was surviving on potatoes? And from Little House in the Big Woods, yes, the maple candy, and also the crispy pig's tail so delicious those well-behaved Ingalls girls squabbled over it.
I also loved Daisy's kitchen in Little Men. That was magical. I think of my bitsy NYC kitchen as its grownup equivalent!

Oh, boy, I want to make this right now but have too much work to do. Can't wait. Thank you for the recipe.

About: I spend most of my time daydreaming about what I'm going to make for dinner and wondering whether it's about time to bake some cookies.
Favorite foods: steak, apples, bread and butter, gruyere, potatoes, Tex-Mex in Houston, hamburgers, milkshakes, sauteed leafy greens, salty caramels, grilled cheese, diner food in general, homemade strawberry shortcake, pound cake, vanilla ice cream
Last bite on earth: still-warm bread with really good butter...or maybe a caramel, because I'd get to chew it a while before I went!
Thanks, everybody...glad to know I'm not crazy b/c I like to eat them plain, although now I have extra incentive to make the fried patties I've been dreaming about when I have leftover mashed potatoes, which is not often & definitely not after this holiday. My mom makes a mean post-Thanksgiving shepherd's pie with everything layered in a pie plate. I like it at least as much as the meal itself.
@LoCo, thank you! She is a doll. I'm so eager to see what she likes to eat besides milk...but I'll have to wait a few more months.
