I am obsessed with the lettuce here. Obsessed, I tell you! My salad spinner's been going non-stop! So happy to have a kitchen again...
Lentil salad with red peppers, carrots, parsley, celery and a mustard vinaigrette over such fantastico lettuce!
Salsa verde. So far I am preferring Alice Waters' recipe to the Moosewood Collective's, but every batch is sorta different anyway. I mean, it's best to relatively wing it here.
Funny thing. I don't know all of the translations for the fish and meats in French. Sure, I know the basics (poulet, dinde, viande... sometimes I even remember that cod is "cabillaud"), but when there are all sorts of fish filets in front of me with mystery names, the only one I can really pick out is salmon.
So my new game is picking out something that looks appetizing (tried this over the weekend with a mystery "pork" from the Ardennes... turned out it was their salt-cured pork--and delicious!), taking it home, and translating it. So today I picked out some lovely filets of "sebaste". Care to venture a guess?? Sounds kinda like "sea bass", hmm? Turns out it's redfish/ocean perch. Good by me. I baked it with some fresh lemon and herbs. Yum. Tune in tomorrow for the next mystery food!
Delicious lettuce with apples, celery, Danish blue cheese, and a honey-balsalmic vinaigrette.
Feelin' owl-y. Britt gave me this lovely pin when I left Philly.
Window kitteh, 4-evah!
