Food Journal for LCB

This day in class I made tortillas, I mixed cinnamon in with the masa and honey in with some lard, they came out awesome. I love the texture of home made tortillas and that sweetness was perfect. I also grilled some pork loin that just marinated in some garlic, salt/pepper and olive oil. I made an ancho chili sauce that also had some caramelized onions, cayenne and cream in it. The white purée is turnip and it was nice and peppery. Then on top is a pico de gallo with fresh tomato, onion, green scallion and cilantro tossed heavily in lime juice. It was a good balance of flavors, I wish I had of made the sauce a little more spicy or maybe the purée and then I think the sweet and spicy balance would have been perfect. This was day 3 of class.

Cold Baby Ears

I find that most of the time when Fiona is sleeping, wether I'm holding her or she's in her bed, I'm feeling her cold little ears. I don't know why but I've always loved cold ears.. On the dogs, on my boyfriend, and now the baby. Hers are the best. Something about them being so small and chilly it just makes me happy and somehow relaxed. So weird. Still, one day I won't be able to do it anymore and I'm really going to miss cold baby ears.
