Bayless v. Kennedy

Here's how it's going to work. 

One night I'll do a Kennedy meal, the next night I'll do a Bayless meal. Since they've both published numerous books, I'm going to cook from a single book each time. Maybe at the end I'll be able to declare one title the hands-down best Mexican cookbook.

Or maybe I'll just move to Saigon and chuck all this domestic ambition. I had forgotten just what a slog these late afternoons are. The driving, man, the DRIVING. To the school, to the supermarket, to dance class, to piano lesson, back home, mix some masa, to the dance class, bake the cake, set the table, fight over homework, check for the bobcat. . .

Tonight: Bayless' Mexico: One Plate at a Time. We're having a casserole-style zucchini tamal. It is steaming and now I am running out the door for my last pick-up of the day. Sometimes I leave my apron on when I drive carpools. I think that's perfectly okay, because in an emergency, I can just take it off. I feel differently about driving in pajamas.

  1. Apron's OK, unless it's flowery and you're a dad not a mom.

  3. I really loved Bayless' positive attitude and apparent skill on his recent Top Chef Masters run, so I'll be interested to see how this goes.

    A food-writer friend of mine who has two small kids said she realized at some point she could spend all day making a complex spice mix to go in a complex Mexican dish, or she could just go to a local place where that's what they do, all they do, and it's cheaper and faster so what the heck. Takes some of the challenge out of it, though.
