Callie comes over for pecan pie baking and a glass of wine.
THURS 6:45 AM:
I jump out of bed to start the focaccia (I want to give it adequate
time to rise). Something so wholesome about yeast bubbling and foaming so
early in the morning.
THURS 8:00 AM:
I start the potatoes roasting. Sprinkle with rosemary picked by my own
dear husband (he actually uprooted the whole plant at my request of a few
sprigs).
THURS 9:30 AM:
Start the mushrooms and
red wine reduction for the steak. Note to self: count on any recipe that says
'reduction' to actually mean a duplication of how long it will take you….but an
effort well worth your minutes.
THURS 10:00 AM:
Pathology class. Okay, I was not actually there; I am just
acknowledging that it was happening a few blocks away up at school. I had fully
intended to go but oohhh my kitchen is just starting to smell so good...
THURS 11:15 AM:
Food packaged and sitting on the counter, ready for Ben to take to
work for his boss. You see, his wife had spine surgery and sweet Ben offered to
bring him dinner… which meant I got to make dinner. Considering the mood this
effort put me in (somewhere between excited and totally relaxed, happy with
what I have accomplished this morning in the kitchen and not so bothered by the
fact that I missed three classes), I begin to think that we should really do
this more often...
recipes soon...
