Tony Bakes a Cake
July 10th, 2006 Caroline
The usual cooking division of labor around here (and with many exceptions) is Tony: savory; Caroline: sweet. Tony: cooktop; Caroline: oven.
Except on my birthday, when Tony bakes a cake. And he always makes something fabulous, often something I wouldn’t have tried but truly enjoy.
But it’s hard, when I’m sitting here ostensibly working on my next column and he’s right across the room starting the cake (starting! at nearly 10pm!), not to interfere. Especially when he blurts out things like, “Hmm, I chose this recipe for the ingredients, but I didn’t really read the recipe…”
Which brings us to another difference in how we work in the kitchen. Caroline: reads and combines several recipes. Tony: wings it.
I’ll report back tomorrow. I trust it’s going to be delicious.
