Many years ago, on a much earlier birthday........

My mother gave me a copy of Simca's Cuisine by Simone Beck.  This has been the standard bearer for me when I cook all things french.  My copy has travelled everywhere, both coasts and across the water.  Though it's dog eared, and favorite recipes bear smudges of butter, it has never failed me.  Tonight, in honor of my sister turning 50, Simca's Le Montmorency chocolate cake, wins the evening again.....


Of course we had her favorite pasta first!



Though David Foster Wallace has forever changed the way I view lobster, I found these two, old, hand tied lobster bait bags last weekend and filled them with some new tufts of moss that are begining to emerge after the snow melt........
