My nose is useless now, necessitating the need to breathe out of my mouth. Yech. Intermittently I'm permitted to breathe all right but far and few between.
However, I did manage to do the potatoes with a sort of buerre manie in stock, then reduced it till thick. (I looked the spelling up) For once, it didn't get too salty. Yay for manie! I'm also considering tackling the beast that is pate brisee. Well, beast for me, considering I'm not a make your piecrust kind of person, much less a make your own pie one. I'm a storebought mass consumer kind of person. I might attempt to make a tart size amount, but in a bit. Maybe monday...
Elsewhere on the food front, I finally organized my spice drawer which contains pretty much everything I use to cook with and discovered almond extract as well as suspiciously old cumin which I'll prolly use anyways since it can't be that bad, and cayenne pepper! I'm thinking almond biscotti, and some kind of spicy sauce in the future...
