I pulled recipes from a few places:</p> <p>Cauliflower Soup with Beet crisps came from Thomas Keller’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ad-Hoc-Home-Thomas-Keller/dp/1579653774?ie=UTF8&tag=akit-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" title="Ad Hoc at Home" target="_blank">Ad Hoc at Home Cookbook</a>. This soup was amazing. Definitely my favorite dish that I made yesterday.</p> <p>The pasta with Kale and potatoes was a bastardized version of a strozzapreti recipe by Deborah Madison. </p> <p>For dessert I made a ginger bundt cake with candied lemon and lemon-ginger ice cream. Candying the lemons and making the ice cream were by far the hardest parts of the meal. Took all night on Monday!</p>http://karlbakeman.com/post/17673517817http://karlbakeman.com/post/17673517817Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:47:00 -0500foodrecipes<a href="http://ny.eater.com/archives/2012/02/13_of_the_best_vegetarian_tasting_menus_in_new_york_city.php">13 NYC Vegetarian Tasting Menus. </a>http://karlbakeman.com/post/17398195678http://karlbakeman.com/post/17398195678Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:05:03 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5qidFDKZ1r9japro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Can’t wait to try the red velvet pancakes over at <a href="http://www.brooklyncommune.com/">Brooklyn Commune!</a></p>http://karlbakeman.com/post/17354406033http://karlbakeman.com/post/17354406033Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:18:13 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyqiq2VnVC1r0r1o2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nortonsoc.tumblr.com/post/17155997592/sociology-family-tree">nortonsoc</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Sociology Family Tree</p> </blockquote>http://karlbakeman.com/post/17226780951http://karlbakeman.com/post/17226780951Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:55:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyrrv8W6Z01r9japro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Had a delicious dinner over at <a href="http://606vanderbiltbklyn.com/" target="_blank">606 R&D</a>.

Basically, you need 100ml of water for each ounce of raw cashews. Then add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and honey to taste (I have a sweet tooth). This recipe will make enough for 3 or 4 people. </p> <p>900 ml of water<br/> 9 oz of raw cashews<br/> 2 tbl honey<br/> 2 tsp vanilla extract<br/> 2 tsp cinnamon</p> <p>Put the water in a blender. Throw in the nuts (I like to let them soak for an hour or two before blending them, but you don’t have to wait). Mix in the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until it has milk-like consistency. </p> <p>Enjoy!</p>http://karlbakeman.com/post/16715110338http://karlbakeman.com/post/16715110338Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:31:52 -0500foodrecipecashew milk<a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/search/#ShitSociologistsSay">#ShitSociologistsSay</a>: <p><a href="http://nortonsoc.tumblr.com/post/16498539058/shitsociologistssay" class="tumblr_blog">nortonsoc</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>It seems appropriate that sociologists would hop on this meme a couple of weeks after it jumped the shark.
