Is this gross?

Not to me.

Lately all I do is read about food. (No wonder I am hungry all the time!) For this month book club, our group decided on a quick read about food, cooking or wine. I had suggested local Seattlite, Molly Wizenberg’s A Homemade Life, but Julia Child’s My Life in France won the battle (I was voted out by a one person vote apparently). I bought both books because well, all I do is read about food and started reading Child’s book. Not that it wasn’t good or that I don’t like Julia Child— but when a fellow book clubber declared yesterday that she preferred to read the latter and was going to do just that, I quickly switched to my copy of Wizenberg’s book and haven’t put it down since.

Anyway! This picture is my first recipe from Wizenberg’s book: stewed prunes with citrus and cinnamon— not gross at all! (Though I do admit I did a poor job of photographing this bowl of loveliness, but what can I say? It’s either blog now, or don’t blog at all!)

Oh, and yes, I now officially have a crush on Molly Wizenberg.
