Yesterday, I worked on a feature article for the Joy of Cooking--Saint Patrick's Day. The thing about these articles is that we have to send them out six to eight weeks early, which is supposedly how far out newspapers plan their articles. I spent the morning in the test kitchen making Shepherd's Pie and Irish Soda Bread. The soda bread recipe needs a little tweaking, but for all its faults I swear I could eat the whole loaf at once.
I also have a gnocchi recipe I want to share with you soon. It's time-consuming any way you look at it (and you can look at it several different ways), but the reward is great. This is true especially if you're just cooking for one or two, which means that you have lots left over to freeze, and gnocchi freeze like a charm. The process is also meditative, like kneading bread. So if you're into meditative cooking, this is a recipe for you. To be continued...

Hang in there, Megan! I know the southeast is getting dumped on a ton this year.
Can't wait to see the recipes!
ps- so jealous of your new cooking and foodie state of experimenting and writing for big time newspapers! congratulations!
Before this thing is over, you really have to come visit me. Especially since I'm trying to plant my first garden and keep my first chickens this year!
