Great Package Design from www.welovejam.com (at Rainbow Grocery, SF)
Tonight's contribution to cooking-at-brads. Orange and Beet salad cribed from Elise's Simply Recipes. Photo doesn't look so good, but this was a very simple and tasty dish. I highly recommend this recipe as a compliment to any rich or gourmet foods... tonight it complimented a surf and turf combo of flank steak and grilled scallops with a burre blanc sauce.
Mmmm... Hookers are good cooks! Erica's stuffed pizza was awesome... gotta love her Italian roots. =)
Steve Ivy IM'd me about some code... but then mentioned balsamic vinegar—all of a sudden I just had to cook!
Called the roomies they were down to eat. Stopped by Rainbow Grocery on the way home to pick up some ingredients. I was craving potatoes, ginger, spinach... so I picked them up. Then how to combine... I decided that I'd make a simple potato dish and then cover it with a sauce.
I quartered the potatoes, minced an onion and a few fingers of ginger. Set the onions and some butter sweating in my cast iron pan while the potatoes steamed. Meanwhile I minced and sauteed a few hand-fulls of mushrooms and chopped a few cups of spinach in a separate pan.
Once the potatoes were fork-tender, I added them and the ginger to the sweating onions to brown. In the other pan I added 3 cans of drained tuna, a jar of pasta sauce, and some fennel seed.
After letting the potatoes brown and the saucy concoction simmer, I plated them side-by-side.
So good. Yum.
Dessert Update... Whisky Strawberry Sour -- Frozen Strawberries, fresh squeezed meyer lemon, fresh kumquats, and Makers Mark... blended till thick and smooth.
Made pizza last night for my roommates birthday... Yum!
Spinach, artichoke heart, fresh mozzarella, & monterey jack was my fav
But the pesto (freshly made that night too) was super tasty too...
Didn't get a photo of the whole party, but there was quite a fun bunch.
Fun vid. Octopus at the end...
Kelsey and I made sauteed Tilapia w/ leeks, topped w/ fresh dill & homemade hollandaise sauce. And...
