Musings from a servantless, stay-at-home, cooking-obsessed mom
People, lemon zest makes everything better. In this pasta dough is the zest of three lemons. Yuuum!Let me tell you though that I am not feeling terribly confident about this pasta. I had to add double the amount of EVOO plus some water to get the dough to come together. Hmm.
WOW!!! This dinner was soooo good. The first two pictures are the coriander roasted sweet potatoes with lemongrass-lime-creme fraiche sauce (I might lick that off dirt, it was so good) and the last is the caramelized endive with Gruyere. Both were so darn good, we ate everything. Tom said -full disclosure- that the cooked endive smelled like sweaty shoes (hello… warm Gruyere) but even he, who lacks the gene for enjoying bitterness, loved the dish. Because of the fat in the Gruyere and creme fraiche, this actually was a very satisfying meal. Served with the last bit of a Rhone blend from the other night and whole grain bread. Nice!
Ok, while I do LOVE clothes and shoes, I think it’d be a stretch to call me anything more than fashionably aware. I do, however, think I know what DOESN’T work, and I saw several of those mishaps today. Do you think the following are good ideas?
1) Male faux pas: too-tight seersucker shorts, button down shirt and too-tight white sweater on top with Reeboks, no socks. I think not.
2) Lady mess: knee-length, destroyed jean shorts, rolled at the cuff; long-sleeved black t-shirt with a random white graphic tee on top; white socks; toeless, brown suede, lace-up, high-heeled booties. Say what?
3) And, while gal #3 had nice shoes on, if you cannot walk properly in your shoes, please don’t wear them. Why look like a camel or other lumbering type?
Just some random thoughts from a tired gal. ;) This one’s for you, KatieFru.
