These days I feel a lot like Gus from Cinderella. If you aren't familiar with Gus, and I assure you that I am, he is the little mouse with a stack of corn up to his teeth. As a kid I watched two movies on repeat. Cinderella and Lady & the Tramp. I can quote an impressive (?) amount of dialogue from Cinderella...verbatim. Not to mention, I am totally shameless about it. Having started a new job, traveling to Philly to NJ to NJ again and again to Nashville and back to DC, I feel as though this blog has become both the stack in Gus' hands and the cat. How sad, no? I promise not to get dramatic, and instead I will just share with you a menagerie of recipes, dishes, parties and guests that I've shared meals with over the last few weeks.
Menu:
Sausage and Three Cheese Tart (#139)
Schaeffer picks herbs from my "garden".
Trio of Mozzarella, Parmesan & Ricotta
Notice here two important details: Elijah's new chair and the exquisite 1930s champagne glasses Anita gave me. I'm a beer out of the bottle and wine out a tumbler type of gal, but I absolutely cannot resist pouring my drink into one of these beautiful things. It feels all fancy.
Menu:
Veggie Frittata (#140)
Cucumber, Tomato & Olive Salad (#141)
Patriotic Berry Tart (#142)
Menu:
Make this beef. It is delicious. And easy.
Use the freshest veggies. I omitted peas and substituted snow peas to do so.
The reason I cook. Really.
Phew. I needed to get that off my chest. The summer is absolutely flying by. I miss the regular ramblings here, honestly. This past weekend brings a few wonderful family dinners to share. Look around for them soon.
156 to go...
