Brussels Sprouts with Almonds, Silver Spoon p. 448
Ben: The gratin was rich and flavorful, though it was more like comfort food than culinary adventure. The brussels sprouts dish was a lot of work for something that in the end didn't really come together: it tasted fine, but I don't know that I'd go to the trouble again.
Sunday: Event - Bettye LaVette at the Dakota
Garbanzo Bean and Spinach Soup, Silver Spoon p. 230
French Bread
Ben: This was an easy, tasty soup -- even got an unprompted compliment from Nathan! And Betty LaVette totally rocked.
Monday:
Eggs over Smoky Potatoes, Suppers p. 122
Salad
Ben: This one had promise, but I'd want to experiment with some alternative techniques when making this again. We tried prepping the potatoes on the stove top, then adding the eggs on top and baking, which worked OK, but I thought the eggs came out a bit dry (while looking undercooked, a strange combo). Next time, I'd try the stove top method for the egg step as well.
Tuesday:
Pasta and Chickpeas with plenty of parsley and garlic, Suppers p. 67
Broccoli
Wednesday:
Green Rice with Chiles and Leeks and Avocado slices, Suppers p. 152
Ben: Very tasty -- just the right amount of zing from the anaheim chiles.
Thursday:
Mashed Potatoes and Turnips with Onions and Greens, Suppers p. 141
Friday:
Tofu and Edamame in Lemongrass Broth, Suppers p. 102
Ben: Very flavorful sauce, though perhaps more veggies and less tofu next time.
