When I didn’t know what to cook on my mission I would start cutting up an onion and pretty soon there was a whole meal cooking.  It was hard to lose with herbs-de-province, creme-fraiche, lardons, lots of veggies, and plenty of great cheeses.

During those same two years I developed a strategy for tackling challenges that I don’t think should be universally applied but is often useful.  Here it is: if you don’t know how to do something then do it.  The know-how follows pretty quickly.
