Almond Cake in a Food Processor
You know the author photos you see on the back flap of cookbooks? Imagine if one of them started talking to you. That's how I felt last week when I announced on Twitter that I was making Amanda Hesser's almond cake (one of my all-time favorite desserts, recipe here) and Amanda Hesser herself, who's a prolific Twitterer, Tweeted back: "I have a new way of doing the almond cake: mix butter, sugar, almond paste, eggs, sour cream & extract in a food processor."...
Twitter & Plodt
Amanda Hesser e-mailed me recently to tell me about the new project she's working on called Plodt: "It gives you a way, using Twitter, to keep track of things in your life. I've been keeping track of (and rating) the food I cook and eat, and there are a handful of other people doing the same." Plodt plots a graph of various elements which you create and score by putting a word and number at the end of your Twitter post framed by two asterisks. For example, "I just had the best sandwich of my life! *food 10*." It makes much more sense when you follow other people who are doing it; so, to that end, here are the links to both my Twitter page and my Plodt page as well as Amanda Hesser's.
