• Step 9: blog about it

  Hi Lisa!

  Oh my, when I read Mikael’s email my first thought was, “ahh, I think my best recipe involves the phone number for the Russian restaurant.” Then it was, “do I HAVE ten friends?” Perhaps my internet time would be better spent with a therapist.

  I saw Katy Warren last week. We’ve been meaning to get together for about two years. Over coffee we caught up and had a great time. Of course we both had to wonder why we waited so long. In a few years I may be able to complete this ten friends thing. Hmmmm…

  Still, I wanted to email you so I’ll give it a shot:

  Lara’s New Year Crostini–

  1. thinly slice a baguette, drizzle slices with olive oil, lightly salt and pepper, broil till toasty
  2. on the stove top, saute apple and pear slices in port
  3. top crostini with a small dollop of soft goat cheese and one fruit slice
  4. broil briefly until goat cheese is warm
  5. repeatedly roll eyes at children when they tell you goat cheese tastes like a wet dog
  6. ask children how they know what a wet dog tastes like
  7. laugh like a loon
  8. consume the rest of the port and surf the internet for cheap overseas vacation rates. for one.

  Most of my other recipes involve ketchup.

  Love,
  Lara
