Diego Luna of Y Tu Mam\u00e1 Tambi\u00e9n<\/em><\/a> is apparently my male counterpart. This morning I happened to thumb through a copy of Interview<\/em> in which Luna is, as you might suspect, interviewed. Take note of the following passage:<\/p>\n

Interview:<\/em> What do you want from life? You told me before that you want to find a woman.<\/p>\n

Diego Luna:<\/em> Definitely. I want to be in love and eat as much as I can!
<\/strong>
[Molly:<\/em> Who can disagree with this man? Look at that enthusiasm! And that exclamation point! Amen!]<\/p>\n

Interview:<\/em> So it\u2019s love and food and sex, I guess.<\/p>\n

Wow, what a morning! Mexican movie stars really know how to live. And how to steal my ideas.<\/a><\/p>\n

After that serendipitous find, I rewarded myself with a drippy tomato-and-mayo sandwich on toasted wheat berry-y bread. I must gorge myself on these while I still can, before fall arrives with its tomato-killing chills. I never get tired of drippy tomato-and-mayo sandwiches. I am so boring and happy.<\/p>\n

But then things went downhill. After lunch I set to work putting the finishing touches on my birthday cake, unfortunately destroying my chocolate ganache in the process. My forays into baking are not usually so dramatic<\/a>, I assure you. I\u2019m not used to these feelings of panic and betrayal in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s ganache episode I unknowingly overheated the heavy cream, and the chocolate, when added, proceeded to separate into little bumpy grains and puddles of slippery oily sludge. Most inconveniently, it waited to really<\/em> do this until after I\u2019d already begun pouring and spreading it over my two-tiered dark chocolate and raspberry cake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I carried on, terrified, working my icing spatula with a fool\u2019s determination. Once the entire thing was covered with my broken ganache, I called my mother and left a frantic message about being afraid of my birthday cake. She didn\u2019t call back.<\/p>\n

I will spare you the ugly details, but I did <\/em>manage to salvage the cake and the ganache with a combination of desperation, very dirty fingers, and aggressive spatula action. My cake looks smooth, modern, and architectural, with dull spackle-like frosting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And now I\u2019m afraid that the El Rey bittersweet chocolate I used may be too bitter for my comrades in tonight\u2019s birthday festivities. I am full of fear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
