no big dill smitten kitchen The Italian Dish - Posts Lil Blue Boo - Part 5 I’m scared to see the movie Wolf, because I’m worried it might trigger PTSD. I read the recent NYT article for For the Love of Money and I had flashbacks of an earlier life. It would take years to tell the whole story. It’s all a huge circus under a tent called “investment banking.” But I can condense some of it into a quick short story…with a few pages from my journal at the time: Imagine you are in a conference room with a deal team making a $50 million dollar pitch based off of a spreadsheet that has been together in haste. That’s a true story. By my third year as an associate, I was one of the highest paid associates in the bank. I had two bosses who ran the investment banking division I was in. It would take the equivalent of an entire novel to explain what happened, but basically I slowly lost it. I was working for several managing directors by this point, this particular one I’ll call MD5. The interaction with MD5 made me a rock star for a few days. Ah ! P.S.

smitten kitchen Thursday, February 13, 2014 chocolate peanut butter cheesecake This birthday cake was assigned to the side of the family whose dessert preferences can be roughly summarized as chocolate + anything else, but if that “else” were cheesecake, coffee, peanut butter or raspberries, all the better, thank you very much. Non-chocolate desserts are regarded politely, like curiosities at a zoo; perhaps something another family might enjoy? Their dessert formula can be thanked for all sorts of archive wonders, such as the Chocolate-Caramel Cheesecake, Double Chocolate Layer Cake, Espresso Chiffon Cake with Fudge Frosting, Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake, Double-Chocolate Torte, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake and Cappuccino-Fudge Cheesecake. And now this, too, which is like the last two cakes got together and made an even better version of themselves for the next generation.
