Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

Cooking adventures! I made a lemon-yogurt tart tonight from scratch, with a sort of improvised lemon curd made from sugar, greek yogurt, zest, juice, and some half and half I had lying around. The crust is typical tart fare—flour, sugar, salt, yolks, butter o’ plenty (thanks again, Julia C.), a little olive oil—I parbaked the shell (20 mins at 400) and then baked it with the filling for about 15 mins at 325, and now it is cooling to be put in fridge for dinner party hostage tomorrow night.

Also I am wearing this apron. When I became Betty F-ing Crocker, I have no clue.
