Get yourself to the grocery store and stock up on butter, because today, Ina Garten’s new book, Barefoot Contessa at Home, is out.   I ordered my copy from Amazon this morning, so I have until Thursday to acquire my cache de beurre.  Once the book arrives, I will analyze each dessert to decide which will be the “best” (judging from the photos, of course), and then plan my perfect dinner from the recipes.  With a little fortitude (and yes, for me, cooking can be an adversity), perhaps something will even be prepared!  If you’d like to meet Ms. Garten and discuss your rising cholesterol levels, she will be touring the US this fall.  Chicagoans, our chance is December 7 at the Crate & Barrel on North Avenue.
