I'm really surprised it wasn't a mistake! I'm originally from Louisiana and I always like everything spicier than anyone I know. It was so hot it hurt my stomach. I always make my own adjustments to recipes, but like I said---the pregnant brain does amazingly stupid things. The other day I forgot to put a cup of walnuts in a carrot cake and a while before that I left a loaf of banana bread sitting on a chair next to the oven. I won't be defeated, though. I'm going to give it another try on Wednesday. Again, your blog is wonderful. It's refreshing to find other people who take pleasure in preparing such spectacular, fresh food on a daily basis, especially in this city full of people who rarely use their closet sized kitchens.

I do tend to go pretty aggressive with my seasonings, but you should always feel free to adjust the spices up or down. Oh, I’m sorry it was too hot for your taste, Kat!

I went to the greenmarket, made a roasted vegetable stock, was dreaming all day of a nice thick chowder and a salad with sunflower sprouts and raisins. Usually I would have seen the red flag...a TABLESPOON of cayenne, but my pregnant brain doesn't work so well these days. So hot I couldn't eat it. Now it's 11:30 pm and I have no dinner. I know I should have caught it, just thought you should be aware of the mistake in the recipe :( Love your blog! I was so excited about this soup…

And while it felt a little odd making soup in August, I had to remind myself that all of the veggies that went into it were from the Greenmarket (as well as the butter and the chicken that the stock was made from), and they are in season right now... so technically this is a seasonal dish!

We need to be warmed somehow I guess...whether it be from the outside, or the inside.
