Been cooking, clears my head like nothing else, well, not nothing else, anyway, it's pretty good. Dolmas are prepared, chilling, gratin is assembled, chilling, will add cream & hazelnuts later & bake it more. Only other things left to do are to clean & roast root vegetables, attempt unmolding of dessert, lay table, maybe tidy up a bit.

IMed a bit with Henry & Nancy in Italy, sounds like they're having a good time, makes me happy.

So much makes me happy, actually, may not sound like it, it is how it is.
