just peachy

inspired by the addition of 4 new cookbooks, including thomas keller's ad hoc, and the promise of dinner guests i decided to bake this delicious cobbler. it was supposed to be blueberry, but since i don't love baked blueberry anything i decided to make it peach. its also gluten free like everything else i bake. i hope i made mr. keller proud.

eat it, just eat it

i'm not sure how many of you are aware, but chicago is home to one of the most delicious and gluten-free friendly sandwiches ever created. the jibarito is the magnificent and mouth-watering combination of fried plaintains, thin steak, american cheese, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo. the fried plaintains act as a bun and for those of us who have to eat our meat and cheese with a knife and fork, the jibarito is a refreshing and scrumptuous choice. i seriously can't say enough about it. the only down side is that they are so high in calories i can't eat one everyday...otherwise you know i would. seriously i would have to strike a fine balance between ribs and jibaritos and occasionally lobster because that shit is expen$$ive.*

*i'm not sure if i can pull off this kei$ha shit, but i'll try.
