Tonight I spent the evening with PJ and her mom and dad, along with her sister Joyce, neice Natasha and friend Ellen. PJ had asked me to their beach house to give a cooking lesson on something that they wouldn’t normally think to cook. My criteria for choosing the menu was easy, yummy food that can be made on a weeknight. I also wanted things that would be easy to demonstrate.
- Smoked Trout Rillettes (Fine Cooking #42, January 2001, p. 44)
- Chicken Roulades Stuffed with Goat Cheese & Sun-Dried Tomatoes (Fine Cooking #62, January 2004, p. 86C)
- Mushrooms & Spinach with Soppressata Crisps (Fine Cooking #62, January 2004, p. 49)
- Potatoes Fondantes (Fine Cooking #64, May 2004, p. 59)
- Blueberry-Blackberry-Cherry Fruit Crisp with Crunch Crisp Topping (Fine Cooking #51, July 2002, p, 52) with vanilla ice cream
YUM!
But, no wine?
No. No one was really interested. And as much as I wanted to drink an entire bottle myself, I thought it probably wasn’t a good idea. :)
Well…the hangover from a whole bottle of wine certainly would have made you care less about the wildlife in the ocean!
Matrix moment: I love these potatoes!
