Linguine with Clams

 

my cioppino

 

The cioppino rocked! just enough heat. and that thing had depth. Used the Halibut stock I made a few months back. Perfetto!

Roasted Pork Apple wine Sandwiches

 

Lasagne Neopolitana

 

this was lost on most of them.

maybe some more explaining to do

homemade pasta dough

 

Pork Roast with Apple/Wine reduction

 

And Peas with pancetta

test two

Neopolitana sauce is ready. Meatballs are made (both turkey and pork/beef). Eggs are hardboiled. Pasta dough is made (not yet rolled out)

good shape. hopefully nothing bombs

Crew menu testing.

Ok, two easy and awesome main course dish(es). One really and a side. Have to get a two burner electric stove for the reduction. no question about it!

next up, the zuppa de zucca.

Testing for Friday ; Pork and Apples

 

this is a test run of the roasted pork with green apples, that I intend to make for Friday crew luncheon.

Not enough apples but it should work OK.

now...we wait a good long while during the oven phase...and then we enjoy (should be just in time for KB to get home with 8 dozen assorted cookies from the cookie xchange. cool!

crew menu

this is what I'm thinking...

-bagna cauda
-acorn squash soup with grilled crusty bread
-canneloni or lasagne neopolitana
-grilled pork with apple/white wine marinade (grilled apples)
-side of green beans
-some dessert
-cafe

Bagna Cauda

 

been several years since making this. Roman. Tasty. Thank you, Jeff Smith.

Orange Roughy Meuniere (with candied orange peel and marsala)

 

an original recipe (well partly) that came out beautifully.

Leg of Lamb steaks

 

this Tempranillo was nice (10 bucks)

 

Beans and Greens MW

 

Candied Orange Peel 2

Placki Kartoflane

 

this from the Polish cookbook mom got me. The recipe is a LOT different than Latke and really more like potato pancakes. (the Latkes were closer to hash browns)

both were good. Both are gone.

KB making candied orange peels

 

Latkes and sour cream

 

Turkey Meatballs (again?)

Trying to perfect....that's all. Tonite the changeup was a bit of goat cheese into the mix. they are slow cooking now, so we won't know anything for a few hours. (prognosis incognito)

Fennel Risotto and Chardonnay

 

the Pinnacle Pines was very good if a bit frooty. made my risotto too "frooty" but both were great together.

StarDate 11.24.2007 It's all in there

 
this year KB is keeping detailed notes of ingredients, costs, processes, ideas for next year. She ROCKS!

it was inevitable

These things were surprisingly good

Orange Fennel Shrimp

 

Cranberry Crepes for Breafast.
