Woke up feeling bleah, from being up around 2am to help Edie get back to bed. Hunger overtook me, and the novelty of having freshly fried bacon was a concept to strong to resist. Must get healthier breakfast tomorrow.
Momma-in-law came over and took on the Edie, and I road the bike over to Red Hook to interview my new batch of students -- class starts one week from today, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's like a new recipe. The first time you do it, you follow the instructions and you don't make any changes other than common sense things, like adjusting seasoning. So the SECOND time you make the recipe, you know what was good and what was lacking, and you can take out your culinary trumpet and start blowing new harmonies, runs, leit motifs and make the recipe, if not better, at least your own. This 2nd run at teaching the culinary program is gonna be jazz, yo.
After, I visited the restaurant and helped L interview another publicist over some pizza. It was nice coming home to a peaceful momma-in-law and a sleeping baby. Since getting back from Detroit, Edie's sleeping patterns have shifted. She now takes two naps a day instead of one, and goes to bed much later, like 10:30pm. Being the B likes to be in bed before 9, it's more Edie time for me. Gotta watch the snacking that this may cause.
My chili was better this evening, hit it with a little salt, but I think I'm going to make it again soon. This time, a) double the beef stock, b) boil the ground beef in it for a few hours to liquefy it and reduce the stock, instead of browning in oil, c) add salt to the spice mix and d) adjust the spice mix with more cinnamon and baking chocolate. Bee bop boop boop!!
