Thank you. Thank you. I am lucky to have so much love in my life. As for the recipe, super easy to make-- and I swear it will make your pants fall off.

Dear and Sweet Andra,

I certainly cannot top what Bethany wrote above, but I agree with my whole heart, what she has to say.

Happy St.Valentine's Day to you, lovely person that you are!

Big Kisses,
Aztechan

P.S. I hope this recipe will make an appearance in your cookbook! I would love nothing more than to have a compilation of your fabulous creations. Plus, many of them remind me of growing up in a very Middle Eastern household!

Happy Valentine's Day Andra! You're a radiant beauty, an extraordinary writer, and a brilliant chef.

I love your nail polish, perfume, and makeup and that it's part of who you are. You also rock the sweatpants and messy hair look...to me (and many, many others) you always sparkle.

xoxo

This is my first time visiting your blog and I am so impressed. Your writing is beautiful and heartfelt and the intimacy you share with your readers makes me feel as if we are already friends. Oh and the photography is divine as well. If you ever want to invite me over for a play date with your immersion circulator, I am just down the road!

What a wonderful and inspiring list of goals. Thank you for sharing them...and encouraging me to think about all the things I want to strive for over the next year. I too need to learn to forgive myself more and allow myself to fail! I hope you have a lovely day.

Wonderful goals and very inspiring! Thanks!

2012-01-22T09:20:28.968-07:00

Wonderful goals and very inspiring!

2012-01-19T07:41:10.620-07:00

What a great list of goals! You've inspired me to add some of yours to my list, and what you wrote about honoring your time with your family and being mindful about new commitments especially resonated with me. Thanks for this.

Sounds good. I like it.

Your post made me smile. I've been to places like that one in Palm Springs where reality miserably fails to meet expectations (or is it promises?). I have been craving fried chicken--maybe I'll go straight to David Chang's recipe.

Happy New Year!

2012-01-05T20:04:21.021-07:00

Love it...your writing, your humor, your photographs. You make me smile! I wish I was still in Colorado. You always make me miss my home.

@Anonymous going over to Palm Springs (who I must guess is Amber?) - say hi to Rob, but try to skip Magda.

@MikeNicoud there is a funny story behind the lack of the finished product picture- I took it with a new camera, for which I don't have a cable to download onto the computer. Technology is still difficult for this girl but I will post one soon- promise. Think dark golden, uniform, crispy goodness!

2012-01-03T22:48:47.353-07:00

Good post! I want to see a picture of the finished product. I was going to tell you to go to Joseph's Southern Food for fried chicken, but apparently its closed now. Sad. It was the best fried chicken ever.

This is absolutely hilarious and your rundown of the Ace Spa is spot on. While it wasn't relaxing, it definitely inspired a very funny and entertaining post! :) Thank goodness for Rob D.J.!

I'll have to try the Momofuku fried chicken sometime. If it's as delicious as you describe, without breading, that's truly dreamy!

Happy New Year!

2011-12-15T14:21:42.103-07:00

This is a gorgeous post! Reading it makes the art of cooking come to life; I feel what you feel, see what you see, taste what you taste, smell what you smell, hear what you hear. Makes me want to steal a couple hours for myself and create...food! Thank you for inspiring us with your thoughtful writing and evocative descriptions.
