Adventure Awaits...

See, this is why I cannot read a Williams-Sonoma catalog. Because they have pics like this and recipes that seem very "blond-friendly". Next thing you know, this gal is thinking "Pan, check; ingredients, check - #*#*$ I don't have cherries" and then I'm off and shopping.

$77.00 later and many ingredients that have NOTHING to do with the recipe at hand, and I'm heading home. I even stopped to get a pan should I care to make Croque Monsieur (I put back the Le Creuset stoneware bean pot - so gorgeous but not in the cards this week) and Borders had a book of Julia Child's notes (a gal needs to learn how to make a decent Bechamel sauce, right?). My reasoning is that after slicing my finger last week, I need all the help I can get. Plus, Albertsons had a buy one get one free sale (including petite filets) so my freezer is packed (I'm sure former roomie is laughing because to me the sign of security is a packed fridge/freezer).

So, I'm going the domestic diva route today - I'm making Cherry Clafoutis, cleaning the apartment, doing laundry and possibly organizing the closet. And, for an extra bit of adventure, I might just clean off the TIVO..

But who is to blame for this burst of Florence Hendersonesque diva-ism - who else, WILLIAMS SONOMA! They started it - that recipe better be really daggone good.

Pictures forthcoming. For the recipe, see here. My finger is grateful that there isn't much, if any, chopping involved.
