When you think about the weakness of the 2017-2018 Dallas Stars, your first thought is probably secondary scoring (a cookie for each of you). Maybe you dislike goalies, and blame Kari Lehtonen. Maybe you’re on a different planet, and truly believe injuries sunk the team. I think of tiramisu.
My friend from Italy came over as part of her fellowship, and away from her academic work, she found time to make me and my family tiramisu. It’s not terribly complicated to make. However, its many layers, both literal and metaphorical, make it complex. It works on your taste buds for obvious reasons — coffee mixed with cocoa and ladyfingers is awesome.
