Inspired by the dish at pasta pop-up: https://www.pastapopupsf.com/ I tried to recreate it at home. Won’t be exactly the same since I don’t have access to fresh bucatini pasta and their type of pancetta, but it was a nice new experiment!

20170827 Mashed Potatoes Update on mashed potatoes I’ve known the principles of starting with salted water to add flavor of the boiling potatotes, starting with cold water for more even cooking, and even adding warmed butter to the potatoes after it’s cooking so that the starches are better flavored/coated, but one fatal mistake when making […]
20170620 cupcakes Made cupcakes for the first time by myself. Used strawberry box mix. It does taste better with butter and milk. Err on the side of undercooking it — no one likes overbaked cake. Check the cake in less time than the box says. Marscapone tastes good, but it does not make for good […]
