I'm back in the US, and I have several posts planned on Paris.
Happy 2009 to all.

Happy New Year, Jon. Looking forward to reading about your Parisian holiday!
I love your blog! I circuitously discovered it by googling "dislike Mark Bittman." I had a terrible experience with his lemon squares recipe from HTCE; I've made them a million times using various other recipes, but his were literally inedible, very annoying for such a foolproof, simple dessert. Both the crust and the lemon topping were problematic: the crust was literally boiling and bubbling when I removed it from the oven, where it was simply supposed to brown. Hmmm, weird. The "curd" was not nearly lemony enough, and called for 1 teaspoon of baking soda to be added to the lemon juice and eggs, which though odd sounding, I dutifully proceeded to add. It frothed up like a chemistry experiment, and after baking, tasted more like scrambled eggs than nice, smooth, lemony lemon squares. UGH.
Sorry for venting.
