Happy Monday

A huge box of cookbooks arrived from Amazon today: Small Bites is a cocktail/tea party cookbook of tapas, Charcuterie is exactly what it sounds like (J has been lusting after homemade prosciutto), Baking: From My Home to Yours is a high recommended book with great dessert photos, The Tartine Bakery cookbook is a San Francisco favorite, and The Green & Black's cookbook has amazing photos and both savory and sweet chocolate recipes. I'm so excited! Some of them are for me, some are wedding presents for other people, but I'm going to have fun flipping through the for the next few days.

Dinner today was duck noodle soup. We just boiled some noodles, added yo chai (a distant Chinese relative of broccoli or mustard greens), and threw in some roast duck we bought in Chinatown this weekend.
