What a crazy day today has been! After coordinating a shoot in Beijing for the greater part of my workday, I made my way downtown to my freelance workplace to receive a new assignment. Finally en route to my home by 7:00PM, I hadn't eaten much other than a small burger as a very early lunch. Ohhh, if only I could come home and make myself a glorious meal like the one I ate last night at my friend's wonderful potluck birthday party...

My contribution, you ask? A favorite recipe that's beyond simple. Goat cheese crostini with orange marmalade. I tried to plan so that I could have leftover ingredients for more, but alas, there's never enough for that :)



No-Cooking-Involved Goat Cheese Crostini with Orange Marmalade

1 pack Italian crostini (Melba crackers are a fine substitute, though they get a bit soggy as the evening goes on)
4 oz. plain goat cheese
1 jar of quality orange marmalade (you can make this yourself if you really want to--it's actually quite simple. Ask me for the recipe if you're interested!)

Spread out your crostini on a tray. Cover each with a generous smearing of goat cheese, and top with an equally generous dollop of marmalade. Serve, and wait for sounds of satisfaction!



And by the way, I stand corrected--the Hirst auction actually started yesterday and made more than I had reported by the end of the day, ringing in at 70m pounds... it just gets crazier!!
