 h1. Dear readers,
 
 On Tuesday I poached quince using last week's recipe from Andrew Carmellini. After a couple of hours cooking the syrup, with guests due to arrive in 20 minutes, I called Carrie. (I'm sorry you all can't have our recipe editor on speed dial.)
 
 "Why isn't the syrup syrupy?" I groused. She asked what kind of pan I had used, and she didn't have to say more. I had used a narrow, deep pan. Had I used a wide, flat pan, however, I might have had better luck. No matter. It was delicious … if a little watery. 

 Along with it, I made Mark Bittman's Rice Pudding in the Oven. I've used this recipe before, and I knew that it takes a little longer in my oven than is recommended — like, twice as long. I planned ahead, starting early in the afternoon, just in case.

 So, it was an afternoon of lazy cooking — the slowest food, it seemed. But the combination, at long last, was lush and comforting. I recommend it.
