I haven't written a blog for so long. It is so easy after making a big meal, enjoying it, and cleanif up to forget about writing about the experience. There have been some larger experiences in the time since I last wrote, like starting my catering business, starting the website, my biggest job, thanksgiving, and valentine's day dinner with my girlfriend (we had planned to write that one together, me on technical advice, her on gastrophilic noises). The dinner, incidentally was gorgonzola roasted root veggies, gorgonzola risotto, black pepper/maple brick-pan-roasted chicken breasts, and roasted ammaretti, brown sugar, and cinnamon apples. Gorgonzola not so conducive to kissing I found out. Whatever it was great and maybe I'll give the recipes, probably not! I find myself posting this message because of all the great things I have done recently in the lazy days in my kitchen when I am without takeout or some leftovers. Here are my favorite anytime meals. Go to the store or use whatever you already have to make a great salad. My fav is fresh herb base, with basil, dill, arugula, baby spinach, and especially frisee. Add some very thin slices of you favorite salami or pepperoni, sautee some sliced portobello muchrooms with sliced shallots, add when cool along with shredded carrots, toasted almonds, and some crumbled gorgonzola. Squeeze out about 1 1/2 t. of lemon juice into a small mixing bowl, add 1 1/2 t. dijon, add fresh cracked pepper and sea salt, and mix with a fork until combined, add olive oil and mix until emulsified.
Another favorite
take two slices of rustic italian bread, Turano is good. Brush with olive oil on one side of each slice. spread spreadable goat cheese on other side of one slice and top with jarred roasted red peppers, dried with a paper towel, thinly sliced plum tomatoes, sauteed slices of portobello, plenty of baby spinach, and a slice of provolone, spread some country style dijon on the other slice. Use a panini press or a fry pan with a weight on top of sandwich to maek the best vegetarian panini.
