MENU FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 11, 2010
Here in New York it is bitter cold which encourages me to heat up the kitchen. Last week’s menu was a good one. Lydia’s pork is always a treat and the lemon tilapia was new for me, but declicious. I’ll do that dish again. The Tunisian Chicken with Green Olives was also good, although next time I’ll use more olives.
I try to strike a balance between new adventures and old favorites although my husband complains that I never do a dish twice…(He needs to have something to complain about…)As I look through my cookbooks and magazines I get so many ideas that I’d like to try. On the other hand, as I go through my old menus I am reminded of dishes I really must do again as well. So there are both old and new on every menu. And also a variety of cuisines, although I must admit, I do a bit more of the French.
They say that variety is the spice of life – and this is never more true than when applied to one’s kitchen. We never want to be bored with our food!
[No she never does a dish I like, twice.
My apologies on lack of recent photos, I have recently taken temp work and it has somehow eaten into my spare time. 8.5 hours a day will do that, especially with commute. I hope to get some of the missing weeks up on Saturday, as I do have the photos. One gift to my wife was a digital camera, so she will be the photographer on some shots. Or I may be able to post them on coming mornings while waiting for the bath to heat up enough that the shower doesn't freeze, according to Google it is a warm 25 F outside, which is a vast improvement over Sunday. wwj]
