Times New Keeferton

And now: two photos that I took with my phone today.

Probably the best thing I’ve written yet. This is a small pile of limited copies that are going to people as part of an art exchange deal, wherein I’m hoping to get peoples’ responses, make it better, and attempt publication in one of the finer literary thingies. It’s always exciting.

So today I have been making French Onion Soup.

I’m using the Cooks Illustrated recipe, which is great thus far, but exceedingly time consuming. After a couple hours of working on the onions– just the onions, mind you– I took a quick phone snapshot of their delicious golden nature and sent it to a couple people, including Mr. Mike Ed Ringtone.

Here is that photo.

A few minutes later, Mr. Ringtone responded with a phone snapshot of his own:

Fin.

An hour later, I had been working my way through the second of three eventual deglazings. The onions were turning a straight-up beautiful brown, and were starting to smell insanely delicious. I took another photo, and sent it to Mr. Ringtone.

Here is that photo:

And Mr. Ringtone responded again:

My French onion soup is still not done. It will be what is eaten for dinner tomorrow. THAT is what’s up.
