MENU FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 4, 2010
The holidays are now officially over and we must hunker down to the realities of winter. It is snowing here, with gale winds. The cat is not pleased. However, Warner did a big batch of Clementine marmalade this morning, so the house was warm and filled with the aroma of citrus. A big pork roast tonight will continue the sense of gastronomic well being. We also did a big batch of veal stock in the last few days. One afternoon cooking with just the veal, one afternoon with the vegetables added, and one for canning. Again, lovely aromas….We stock up over the winter – vats of hot steamy stock are not so appealing in August!
We did the lemon poppy seed waffles this morning with a blueberry syrup. They really had a lovely taste – I recommend them. Not at all difficult, but just something a little different. (The recipe in Gourmet 10/97) We are also finding that we can freeze the leftover waffles. They nuke up a little less than perfect – but a hell of a lot better than cold cereal on a cold morning when time is an issue. Another way of making life easier….
