tasty food yay!

I loved NPR's All Things Considered April Fool's Day segment, CD Collection Of NPR Funding Credits Is A 'True Gem,' about a 20-CD collection of NPR fundraising announcements. I wonder how many takes they did to get people to say it all without laughing to death?

Before hitting the grocery store yesterday I wandered over to the bookstore to peruse some cookbooks for a dinner recipe idea. I ended up at Mustard-roasted fish from Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics, which looked so simple but so tasty. Bought all the ingredients (including two more bottles of mustard! I have so many different types of mustard in my frig...), including the rather expensive crème fraîche. It turned out wonderfully, but now I have half a tub of crème fraîche I need to use up. Been looking for another easy recipe, but haven't hit one that makes me want to try it out. I did enjoy reading the NYT article on it from 2001 Spooning Up a Cloud that I came across during my search. I may end up making the lemon chicken recipe at the end of the article, even though I only have skinless boneless thighs to use (I prefer skinned boned thighs because they taste better).

Hmmm... If it's easy (and fast) but tasty recipes you're looking for, I highly recommend Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food (http://www.amazon.ca/Gordon-Ramsays-Fast-Food-Recipes/dp/1554700647) ^-^ I suck at cooking, but magically turn into a chef when I use it XDDD

There are some recipes there that use crème fraîche, I can PM you if you want~ :D
