No One's Fool: June 2006
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 18, 2006. Open Letter To Rose Levy Beranbaum. I've made classic buttercream, neo-classic buttercream and four types of mousselines. They all spread and taste incredible. (Given the amount of butter, really, how bad can they really taste even if you were to screw up? So, Rose, why can't I get my buttercream to pipe better? Why do my roses turn out less than perfect? I'm waiting, Rose. I'm not making another cake until you let me know what to do. Posted by Champurrado at 5:26 PM. Really took t...

No One's Fool: April 2006
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 17, 2006. Having decided to make meatloaf for dinner, I stopped by Dean and Deluca in Chelsea for the fixings. I needed some cookware anyway so I thought I'd kill two birds. D and D is a terrific place to shop with a well stocked produce area, fresh fish and exceptional breads. I made my way through the store, gathered the meat, herbs, bread and vegetables; had them weighed and price marked and eventually landed in checkout. I jumped back on the subway and headed home. I looked for the rece...

No One's Fool: October 2005
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 28, 2005. You have to commit your most valuable asset in order to truly enjoy oysters; you must set aside your time. You can’t rush eating oysters. The time leading up to, during and then afterwards should be anticipated, savored then relished. You need to slow down to appreciate the experience. When I think of oysters, I think of platters of plump, fresh, cold, glistening morsels resting in half shells on cracked ice with lemon, mignonette sauce and maybe some Tabasco. 1 tsp (14 gms) Cin...

No One's Fool: August 2005
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. Recently, while eating out at a neighborhood place, we noticed a new storefront down the street. The main sign said Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. Another sign advertised, Capes, masks and shrinking gas. If we don't have it, a superhero doesn't need it. Ask inside! We can custom-order alter egos." The sign advertising Antimatter was particularly curious. We’ll be making donations to and buying all our secret identity kits from 826NYC from now on.

No One's Fool: July 2006
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 10, 2006. Me and the Goddess. Well, a domestic goddess. For years I have admired the writing of Nigella Lawson. She wrote for the Times of London and now for the NY Times. She also has a few books out and appears on a television program called, Nigella Bites. I have confessed to my wife my attraction to this woman and to anyone else who will listen as well. She is the second most perfect woman in creation. I am a lucky man. Posted by Champurrado at 9:24 AM. New York City Region.

No One's Fool: March 2006
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Slinging with the Pros. I have not posted in a while. My normal routine has changed and that seems to have contributed the most to the lull in my writing. Be that as it may, I press on. Each morning we awoke to a comparably prepared hearty breakfast before heading out to ski. This went on for seven days. All in all, it was a remarkable week. Posted by Champurrado at 10:14 AM. New York City Region. View my complete profile. Very Smart, ALUMINUM ARCHANGEL OF ACTION.

No One's Fool: November 2005
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. In Wednesday’s Times, Elizabeth Maker writes about super star chefs who make house calls at a whopping $1,000 per person. I don’t want to tread on capitalism or anything but really, can the quality of their pork chops charcutiere really be that much better than mine? Again, I’m not trying to criticize the apparent foolishness associated with the way some folks handle currency. OK, I am. What idiot would be such a cook-groupie to pay the fortunes these guys charge! After coll...

No One's Fool: December 2005
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2005. Here’s to thoughtful, home-prepared savory dishes, warm desserts nestled in pools of chocolate sauce, fresh vegetables and greens and most of all, a bountiful new year. Posted by Champurrado at 1:14 PM. Friday, December 23, 2005. Twas the night before Christmas and all through la casa. Not a creature was stirring;! Los ninos were all tucked away in their camas,. Some in vestidos, and some in pajamas,. While Mama worked late in her little cocina,. Ay, Maruca y Nieto! He filled a...

No One's Fool: January 2006
http://noonessfool.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I am humbled by the quality of food writing spread out over the Internet, print media and in bookstores. I can’t seem to get through a day without reading a well thought out article on stock pots, a scathing restaurant review or a clever recipe for nut bread. Well, I suppose all this really doesn't add up to more than a hill of beans. Posted by Champurrado at 6:41 AM. Wednesday, January 25, 2006. The resolution is to bake a filled torte with a chocolate glaze, freeze it overnig...
