Dinner at J & D. So, kouign amman....The dough didn't really come together properly; the butter chunks stayed really big and didn't work into the dough at all. It got sort of weepy in the fridge (from the sugar, I guess). Also, if you are going to use a springform pan, for pete's sake put another pan underneath. The acrid, burning butter smell was most unpleasant. I threw a major fit. The finished product was OK, but I feel like another effort is in order. I would just use regular old butter next time, frankly.

I also made a artichoke heart tapenade from David Lebovitz' "My Paris Kitchen" which was easy and tasty.
