They (!) are thinking we have a 60% chance of rain in then next day or so. When I opened the house this evening you could smell the scent of wet desert. I'm not sure that it is wet but somewhere in the valley it must be so. I took the dog out and it was dry here; desert areas must take their turns getting wet.
Watched a few weeks of Top Chef Just Desserts - I'm still on the fence about watching it some more. I love the idea that we might have more desserts around here but these folks can be pretty over the top. (In a good way, of course!) They are talking center-pieces; wedding cakes & that kind of stuff. In one episode they had to do stuff for a high school bake sale & a few failed totally. Hell, even I could manage a brownie for a bake sale! Granted I might use a mix......
Tried frying some my carnitas for use in a taco for dinner; didn't have the heart to fry them enough I guess and it was a soggy mess. A tasty soggy mess, granted, but not my fave! Gotta keep learning; maybe next lifetime I'll know more.
Hope your weekend was a good one.

Keep practising - it either gets better or you move on to something different.
I love watching cooking shows, but I hate cooking competitions. We have Master Chef here where a bunch of non-chefs compete for fame and fortune. And they helpfully screen Iron Chef on a different station. Now they're making an Aussie version of that. Guess what I won't be watching....?
:D
I habitually fear cooking some things at a high enough temp to get the crispy texture that makes the dish. Could be the many times using a hammer and chisel on the burn on remnants.
Pretty cool place you've got here. Thanks for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.
