We made a delicious polenta pizza tonight. Miatake mushrooms are our new favorite food, so we put them on the pizza, of course. Plus toasted pine nuts, and fresh arugula on top. Hooray for our house guest, Keera, for inspiring something fancier then mac&cheese!


Truffle infused pasta with brie, green beans and walnuts.

Acorn squash with orange and cranberry sauce, fried fennel and lemons, and brown rice.

A double batch of ginger apricot scones, for the choir bake sale this weekend. I kind of forgot how good they were.

Sweet Potato fries and “chicken” sandwich with chard and red pepper, garlic aioli, and rosemary cheddar.

Broccoli and toasted almond soup, with garlic bread.

Red lentil soup with lemon and chard

Almond Roca, my annual self success measurment, proves me to be not quite a failure, once again. Hurrah for candy thermometers!
Made dinner pie last night in a burst of what some might call “kitchen cleaning avoidance”. I think I put too much salt in, but it was edible otherwise. The real question is, am I more likely to eat my leftovers now that they are encased in delicious pie crust?
