So I scrounged through my other cookbooks and found a recipe in Crazy About Cupcakes and the recipe is on this website here. I paired it with cream cheese frosting (1/2 cup unsalted butter, 6 oz cream cheese [both room temp], 1 teaspoon vanilla - blend in mixer and then add 3 cups of confectioner's sugar and beat for one minute to incorporate and then on medium for 3 minutes to cream) and it was delicious. So there.
Here they are.




Oh wait, the last one was a scene from Kubrick's "Lolita" which is one of my favorite movies. She's kind of like a cupcake.
ALSO, I found a kick ass Indian food restaurant in the East Village (rather my friends took us there and I am claiming all the credit) that I highly recommend. Brick Lane. Go there and order the eggplant dish and the Goan. Really yummy. As I said, "There is not a heat lamp in sight in this restaurant." The staff was helpful and efficient and the decor is dim and pleasant and the food... OH, the food. Delightful. Delovely.
And this may be the most shocking news of all... but I have to say that Ben Affleck should be proud of himself. He's been in several films where his acting could have used some help (sorry, Ben) but he just made his directorial debut with "Gone Baby Gone" and it was DAMN good. So if you haven't caught it yet, check it out. I have lived in Boston and it's not my favorite place. But this movie catches a slice of Boston that is unique to that city and is rare to see in film. I hated "Mystic River" except for the all-too-brief performance by Laura Linney - I didn't believe a single moment of that film except for that scene. This movie however is fraught with relationships and interactions and scenarios that are real and complex and difficult to know where the good and bad guys are - i.e., a rarity in American cinema and a real treat. Well done, Mr. Affleck (both of them actually since his younger brother, Casey, stars in the lead role and did a great job), well done indeed.
