An Excess of Egg Whites? Make Pavlova
If you make the ice cream in the previous post, you're going to find yourself with an excess of egg whites: specifically, six egg whites that you should not, by any means, throw away. Resourcefulness is what separates good home cooks from great ones; and there, with that bowl of egg whites, you can make a delicate, memorable dessert, especially if you top it with whipped cream and berries. The dessert in question is pavlova, named after the Russian ballet dancer Ánna Pávlova. Depending on your taste for sweets, it may either be the best or worst dessert you've ever tasted.

Butterscotch Pecan Ice Cream
Good people, I have returned to the land of the living. As I stated in today's newsletter (my first since August (subscribe here)), half of my cookbook was due this past Friday and I turned it in with a great sense of accomplishment and relief. Now I have some time to breath while my editor reads it over. And that means more blogging, more newsletter writing, and more time to spend with a certain someone I've been ignoring too much lately: (said in a Hallmarky, dramatic voice) me.

Cooking Live with Special Guest Cole Escola (10/7/10, 5:30 PM)
So the last time I tried to cook for you live from my kitchen (remember?), I had trouble balancing the art of entertainment with the art of doing dishes. This time around, we have a very special guest to help us out in that regard: TV's own COLE ESCOLA! Best known for his work on Logo's "Jeffery & Cole Casserole," Cole has also appeared on "Law & Order" (his episode, in which he plays an autistic 16 year old, airs again tonight (10/7) at 6 on TNT.) Cole will help me field questions in the chat room while I go about making dinner. Now for the menu: whatever shall I make? See you here with Cole, Thursday, at 5:30!
UPDATE: Thanks everyone who came! We had 67 people watching. The video is archived and playable above.
