So many keeper recipes from this cookbook, and I've owned it all of a month. Poached scrambled eggs are almost crepe-like ribbons. The chicken thighs with lemon came out the best I've ever made, crispy skin and perfect centers, and I'll be using this method going forward, it's that easy and good. The tomato sauce recipe has been in my repertoire for awhile, and it's the easiest thing in the world. But you know me and my penchant for desserts: the chocolate mousse, the dense chocolate loaf cake (even when I've managed to misplace my loaf pan and had to convert on the fly for a 9x9 square), the orange and almond cake, the molasses cookies. I'll be making the meatballs and the chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, and I suspect we'll have surprise dinner guests based on the scents likely to be wafting out of our kitchen.

Teal deer: winner winner chicken dinner.
