...making our own chevre [goat cheese]. Tom, the college chef, believed in using ingredients from the farm in elegant ways—on that fall day, we enjoyed stately, multi-folded galettes made with our goat’s chevre, our chickens’ eggs, our heifers’ butter and our garden’s red onions. Essentially free-form pies, the gallettes come out of the oven like sunflowers with purple, caramelized onion centers and golden, buttery crust petals. I’ve gained a newfound appreciation of the galette by baking it as part of the team...
...each just ordered an entrée of just-manageable proportions. Reworking a perennial favorite, their Crispy Pad Thai ($8.95) was a scraggly nest of brittle threads strewn with shrimp, chicken, bean sprouts, scallions, egg and ground peanuts, sweet and sticky and sour, the whole inescapably recalling peanut butter (which, to me, is a good thing). The Rad-Na (wide rice) Noodles ($7.95/8.95) were to all appearances a facsimile of a staple Singaporean dish, beef kway teow, which uses exactly the same ingredients (beef slices and Chinese broccoli, or kai lan) and a more or less similar gravy composed...
...back in the day when a "generous amount of sugar" was as precise as most cooking instructions got.

One of the easiest and tastiest is the apricots charlotte, a simple, rustic concoction that pairs the crunch of buttered, sugar-dipped French bread with the melt-in-your-mouth softness of simmered apricots. And if you've missed the apricot's glorious...
...hunt for other women who may have seen Major's blue underpants. This has revived memories of the Tories' bad old days of lurid scandals interspersed with pious calls for higher moral standards. Michael Ancram, the Tories' deputy leader, says his boss will focus on bread-and-butter issues like hospitals and crime where voters think Labour has overpromised. "We want to make a very careful case about how we can actually deliver services that will provide people the choice they need," he says. But the Tories' running room is tiny. Duncan Smith is even more pro-Bush than Blair...
...whimsical Hung With Grief (2002), a fiberglass cylinder with miniature steel girders for “legs” standing in an old pair of untied shoes. The sculpture resembles a man dressed in a barrel welcoming the viewer to the exhibition with its goofy sense of humor. Butter will be teaching “Three-Dimensional Artmaking” and “Sculpture I” this fall...
