Sunday: Round trip to Madison to pick up Emily
- Slow-cooker chili
- Buttermilk biscuits, Baking Illustrated, p. 55
- Benjamin: The "best vegetarian chili in the world", as the recipe claims? Not quite, but still good -- and it was definitely nice to get home from a 10 hour road trip and have dinner ready!
- Carrie: It sure was tasty! And I love this biscuit recipe - so easy! You can use a food processor to make the dough, pull out the dough and shape into a round (like a cake round) and cut into cake-like slices with a dough cutter. Put them on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Flaky and yummy!
- Spaghetti and Salsa Verde with Walnuts & Tarragon, Everyone, p. 55
- Cauliflower with Bread Crumbs, Everyone, p. 354
- Benjamin: The salsa verde is in the same family as the trapanese pesto we tried a week or two ago (olive oil, green herbs, nuts) but the flavors were different: all parsley rather than a basil/parsley mix, walnuts in place of almonds, the addition of capers. I especially liked the subtle anise flavor from the tarragon.
- Carrie: Wow, this hit the spot! Nothing more to add but that the flavor had a nice fresh zing to it (not spicy).
- Green Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk and Warm Spices
- Green salad with grape tomatoes
- French bread
- Benjamin: The soup was milder than I expected, but I enjoyed it.
- Leftovers
- Italian vegetable soup with gnocchi
- Benjamin: The recipe I found online provided inspiration, but I didn't follow it to the letter. I'd just made a fresh batch of vegetable stock and we had a package of shelf-stable gnocchi in the cupboard, but for the rest I basically used this as an excuse to clear out various neglected vegetables from the drawers in our fridge. Turned out very nicely nevertheless....
- Carrie: Another one of Benjamin's great concoctions. And great for lunches, too!
- Pizza from Pappa John's
- Carrie: Hey, we had a coupon...
