Boxes of tangerinas, clementinas, and laranjas loiter in the basement and kitchen. Outside there is a tree heavy with the orange fruit, just begging to be eaten, juiced, fashioned into some orange-y treat. Problem is, I don't like my oranges in any form other than as the fruit or juice. That is until now.

Chocolate Crepes Oozing with Mint Whipped Cream
Flat rich chocolate chunk mocha biscotti. Deflated buttery vanilla bean cupcakes. Flaky but in dire-need-of-salt pie crust. Baking flops. All of which happened in my kitchen while trying out to develop new recipes (I blame a good portion of it on the American education system and teaching us the imperial way to measure over the metric... I just can't seem to get a good reliable conversion for every recipe and it drives me nuts). Each and every one reminded me why I prefer cooking to baking.

In a Portuguese Kitchen Be Prepared...
January in a Portuguese kitchen with the stove on for 3 hours baking and getting lunch ready means you must be prepared for one thing: to freeze your butt off. Be sure to have a hat on your head and a sweater of some sort to cover your arms or you will be sure to shiver off any extra holiday padding that you acquired over December. Go outside though and you have to remove at least one of those extra pieces of clothing if not both.
