The Early Days

de3208788d43.jpg.jpg 99x150 The Early Days

( Pioneer Woman, Eighth Grade. ) The thing about being a “writer” for any length of time is that you can always look back at the things you’ve written and get a glimpse of yourself at another time in history. Ga-Ga recently handed me an essay I wrote about my brother Mike back in the eighth grade, and I roared. Sure, the stories about Mike brought back wacky memories of navigating adolescence with a developmentally disabled brother, but what mostly struck me was how much better my vocabulary was back then. I could tell I was being drilled daily, and possibly whacked with a yardstick or ruler. I think I might have actually used the word abstruse . What does abstruse even mean? And what does it have to do with my brother Mike? Anyway, the thing about about being a blogger is, you have at your fingertips a time capsule into which you can peer to get a glimpse of yourself one, two, three, and in my cases, four years into the past. Over this past weekend, as I read some of the things I wrote back in 2006 when I was in my thirties, a few pounds lighter, and full of all kinds of hot air and hope, I couldn’t help but wonder:

Biscotti alle noci

a333036cf6e noci 112x150 Biscotti alle noci

Pochi giorni ci separano dalla Primavera. Le temperature si sono alzate persino qui al polo nord, inaspettatamente. Il passaggio inverno/primavera e viceversa è sempre stato traumatico per me. Quando ero piccola continuavo ad indossare maglioni e giacchette fino a primavera inoltrata e quando finalmente mi decidevo a svestirmi un po’ di più, era quasi ora di rimettersi il cappotto addosso. E non è cambiato un granchè da allora. Le giornate uggiose le prediligo soprattutto quando uscire a fare due passi è proibitivo durante il giorno, e la sera sono troppo stanca per fare qualsiasi altra cosa. Tranne un giro al fioraio e due biscotti per finire le ultime noci rimaste dell’inverno!

What’s more American than strawberry shortcake?  Well, maybe apple pie and baseball. However, when I think of the Memorial Day or July 4th long weekends, strawberry shortcake is the dessert that springs to mind.  Even though I’m Canadian by birth and in my heart, I hope that living in the U.S.A. for the past 14 years gives me enough honorary American status to be able to feature this dessert. This fabulous dessert – and believe me, I couldn’t stop patting myself on the back when I tasted it – comes straight from the pages of Dorie Greenspan ’s cookbook Baking: From my home to yours . Preheat the oven 425 degrees F and place one of the racks in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 6 tbsp sugar. Cut 1 1/2 stick (12 …
