Morning dinner chat
Jan. 17th, 2005 08:31 amLast night for dinner I made a mushroom and shrimp risotto and also served a bit of bread (that I had made on Friday) with that. Talk about carb-city. It was buttery all-around and quite simple. For dessert we finished off the last of the chocolate bread and butter pudding. Maybe I will make some lemon curd today and put together a sponge cake of some sorts. The day is young so anything is possible.
Tonight for dinner I am making salmon and a spinach salad with roasted bell peppers that have been marinated in olive oil and oregano and a bit of sea salt.
Later this week I am going to try a recipe for stuffed peppers that I saw on America's Test Kitchen.
They improved upon the original to give it a bit more flavor and offered some other variations that looked delicious. I think I will try this one with ground lamb.
Oh that Christopher Kimball is such a geek, but damn he knows food.
It is gloomy and foggy and it has been raining quite a bit so I am sure things are going to be flooded.
I am right now finishing a series of stories by Colette. It is sort of an autobiographical series and mostly about her lesbian adventures when she was young. Some of the descriptions are pretty but at the same time a bit silly. I am curious to read more of Colette's work. I have two other books I am reading that I am slowly making my way through but those are around a thousand pages each so I have to read a few slightly shorter books to get in my one book a week requirement.
Hopefully by the end of Feb. I will be done with several books so I can find some different things to read. I may read some Rumer Godden since no one reads her anymore (besides my Mother) and maybe something else will capture my fancy. Maybe this will be the year to read some Charles Dickens....
