Week of Nov. 18 - 24

Saturday:

• Squash and leek lasagna, Eating Well
  
• Edamame succotash
  

Sunday:

• Mescu-iuà, Silver Spoon p. 227
• Spinach salad
• Ben: I realized that we'd made a version of the mescu-iuà from one of Deborah Madison's cookbooks in the last few months, but this variation was more satisfying I think. It had a very earthy, elemental flavor and seemed like a very sustaining meal.
  

Monday:

• Once-Baked Goat Cheese Soufflé, Suppers p. 133
• Wine-Braised Lentils with Spinach, Suppers p. 195
• Ben: The soufflé turned out very well -- light and flavorful -- and matched well with the rich lentils.
  

Tuesday:

• Ben: We ate something, I'm sure of that, but didn't write it down, so of course by now I've forgotten.
  

Wednesday:

• Four Cheese Risotto, Silver Spoon p. 337
• Ben: Perhaps treating this recipe as a "stone soup" (or stone risotto) to use up the odds and ends of cheese and the last bits of various bags of rice (mostly not arborio) wasn't such a grand plan: the results were disappointing, though I think it had more to do with the quality of ingredients than with the recipe itself.
  

Thursday: Event - Thanksgiving with Anne and Bruno
