Risotto ai Cavolfiori

risotto1.jpgAlternately, this recipe is called cauliflower risotto but that doesn’t sound nearly as good. This is one of Jamie’s recipes. I was playing modified recipe roulette (by myself I might add- not all that fun) and happened upon his recipe for risotto bianco. Well it just so happened that I had a head of cauliflower from the farmers’ market and a rapidly deteriorating loaf of french bread. Behold, risotto is born! This recipe is built on the foundation of his easy recipe for basic risotto. Read the rest of this entry »

Broiled Flounder with Parmesan “Caesar” Glaze

flounder1.jpgIs there more fish? Not a question often heard in this household but this recipe apparently made the grade. It was super easy and I’m glad I found it because I bought the flounder without knowing what I was going to do with it in advance. I chose the flounder simply because it was wild caught in North America and because I’ve heard one too many stories about farm raised fish eating the droppings of the farm raised shrimp housed above them.

Tupperware Party

I made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, dough for knoedels, a bunch of different things for Chase and a tasty dinner last night. Most importantly however I cleaned out the fridge. This task was on my list for what felt like forever and I feel a huge sense of accomplishment now that it’s done. The picture is of Chase’s new pastime. Pulling stuff out of the tupperware cabinet that it. I have a vague recollection of having done this myself as a child but then again I suppose everyone does.

As to the comment “Also, I told you what to hang on the big wall. Did you decide against it?” No, I did not decide against is to the extent that the prints are coming and I have the frames. The real question is whether I’ll be able to commit to hanging them or not. That remains to be seen. The enlargements I made on Saturday and put in frames? Still sitting on the coffee table.
