Dishes of the evening:

sapotelunch1) Successful salad: head lettuce washed and torn up, 3 slices good multigrain bread, about 8 stray walnuts, handful dried cranberries, 1 clove garlic (sliced), olive oil, about 1/4 cup good blue cheese (crumbled), cubed apple, and a splash of this ridiculous pinot grigio vinegar that I kind of used out of spite because my mostly-moved-out roommates took my balsamic vinegar on accident but forgot this. (They've also got my salt and my open bag of sugar, and my brother's bike panniers, and some mail. It's not their fault! They were just really busy?)
So I broke up the bread and walnuts into crumbles, mixed the sliced garlic with about a tbsp of olive oil and some salt, and then tossed it with the bread/walnuts. Then I layed it flat on a pizza pan and baked it on 350 for about five minutes, took it out, stirred it around, and baked it for another five minutes. In the meantime, we assembled everything else, dressed it with the vinegar, and tossed it.
It was good.
2) Failed sponge cake. I definitely didn't whip the eggs for long enough, sifting is kind of important, the blender was probably on the wrong setting, et cetera. Woe. It'll make good bread pudding!
3) Still in the works: mixer-kneaded bread, crock-pot yogurt. I will report back as appropriate?
