I think there's crack in one of my olive oils. Or the balsamic vinegar, not sure. All I know is that I have to limit myself to 1 lettuce a day, drizzled with olive oil, balsamic and a sprinkle of sea salt or else I'd eat more of it. Maybe it's the sea salt...
Random Sunday morning cooking frenzy - my scale wasn't working and I couldn't find the back up so although I was dying to bake, that didn't happen. I cooked instead because you don't need a scale for some of the things. No sea bass at the fishmonger so grilled snapper rice paper rolls.Verdict: Ok for a first try - I took some down to the Asian grocery store downstairs (they provided the rice paper and fish sauce for the dipping sauce). Wrapping needs a little bit of work but this might be fun for an interactive dinner.
Not so easy to find the motivation to cook /practice if you don't have people to cook for and if you haven't quite finished rearranging your kitchen...I've rearranged mine a couple of times, to the point where I've forgotten where I put various pieces of equipment.
Dinner with some friends on Saturday night so I made some tartlettes with mushroom duxelles and then a little puff pastry (store bought) served with goat's cheese, tomatoes and beetroot. I forgot to charge my camera so I didn't get a photo of the yummy dinner that AC made - normally I hate the taste of pork but this was so delicious I actually had seconds. And of course a good cheesy sauce is good on pretty much anything - cauliflower with dinner - felt totally spoiled.Hopefully next time I will remember to charge the camera for photos. In the meantime, happy Canada Day, 4th of July and Bastille Day!
