I've eaten at Adana! (I don't live in LA, so I was just excited to have eaten at one of the places mentioned in your newsletter.) I picked it off of a Jonathan Gold list with proximity near my hotel. I am still dreaming of the various eggplant dishes we tried. So amazing!
I just got a Nespresso a few weeks ago, and I can’t believe how much I like it. I’m a devoted cold brew drinker in the morning, but I usually want a sweet iced latte in the afternoon. I’d make my way to a local coffee shop probably five times a week to satisfy my craving, but that gets $$$, and it’s not always convenient when factoring in my kids. Now, I make myself an iced latte with some simple syrup every afternoon. It’s so great.
that food at antico looks SO GOOD. i'll take one of everything.
when i saw the cookie pix i thought the mega-cookie must have been from dough that sat out while the other batch baked and got too warm - i never thought about the overcrowded oven thing, good to know! i always do one at a time but only because my oven would put the underneath batch too far down.
still, everyone seems to be all about chilling the dough (sometimes for days at a time) and honestly from a flavor perspective i notice zero difference. i also have to squish the balls into little patties otherwise they don't spread enough for me. (not a fan of puffy dome cookies.) it all depends on the temperature of your fridge and your kitchen though i guess, like everything baking related! a big flat mega-cookie would make good ice cream sandwiches or a cookie crumble for a sundae topping...or just for eating because dang if it tastes good who cares what it looks like, i say.
