To recap: Two days on Match.com, and only a few winks. Not one full fledged note from anyone. But that’s not about me, right? It’s about them.
That’s why I prefer to cook. I’m almost finished preparing Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon, which has been far more creative and rewarding than trying to scrounge up a date. (And I get to eat it!) What’s left is adding a butter and flour paste, or beurre manié, to the stew with a little red wine. (There’s already a whole bottle of Burgundy in there.) I’ll be serving the finished product to a few girlfriends on Friday night, with buttered noodles, a blue cheese salad, and ice cold martinis. Now that’s something to cheer about.
