but after I returned from Madrid it was so hot for a while, that I barely cooked at all. Tossing a salad was usually as far as I went, not in the last place because the temperature in my kitchen rises to about a million degrees when I turn on the oven there (the dial is missing, so the temperature is either 260 degrees Celcius or nothing). Not the ideal temperature to become creative, I can assure you. But the past week it has been a little cooler, and I’m back in the kitchen. Unfortunately, pictures of my latest creations are absent, because I was far too hungry to let something futile as photography distract me from wolfing down my dinner. *sigh*. So instead, I want to direct you onward to a recipe which I discovered about a week ago. I made it on Monday, and I fear there will be no other way to eat green asparagus now…This is far too delicious!

Next, I will share Nigella Lawson’s recipe for the best.chocolate.cake.ever! And no, that is not an exagerration.
