After the most unbelievable grocery shopping experience on Saturday afternoon, - about 1/3 of the city was crammed into Whole Foods at the same time, all of us buying the same stuff, Beth made the best veggie feast ever. Not all that long ago, Beth introduced me to the most incredibly tasty vegetable. They are colored like the sun and sweet as candy, and most awesomely, are just perfection when only peeled, boiled and sliced. Any guesses? Yes, you are right! Golden beets.
Menu:
Beth's Amazing Lentil Soup
Beth's Golden Beets
Arugula Salad (I took care of this.)
Crêpes au chocolat (#44) with strawberries and whipped cream
Lentil soup instantly reminds me of sitting at the table with my old neighbor and friend, Tommy, that I told you about. He introduced me to lentils with a can of Progresso Lentil Soup, and I have never looked back.
Our plate of beets, salad and soup were just perfect for a Saturday night, and paired with a silly girly movie, it couldn't have been better. Until we decided we needed dessert, of course!
All the ingredients in the food processor
My mom sent me a box of kitchen treasures about a week ago, including a crêpe pan, wooden crêpe turner and, most importantly two jars of Nutella! Yum. It took a couple of tries to turn them without breaking them in the pan, but by try #3 and 4, I got it. It was like our own little pre-silly-holiday-dessert-feast.
Whoops! This one was a mistake.
C'est délicieux!
256 to go...
