Cooking notes from the past half week...
May. 27th, 2009 09:24 amIt was a good food weekend!
Friday evening my husband and I went to the movies (yay for gift of passes and concession money) so we had pizza slices from Price Chopper. They actually were pretty good! A little cold by the time I got home but still better than Little Caesar's.
Saturday was Beef Day.
I went grocery shopping for just staples and discovered fiddlehead ferns at Price Chopper. Since I had a beef roast in the fridge that had to be cooked, for lunch we had roast beef, sauteed fiddlehead ferns, and cheddar onion bread.
The Duckie and I made yogurt pops while the roast was cooking. It took 90 minutes because we had to freeze the pops for 30 minutes after we added each layer. She had one for bedtime snack and loved it.
Dinner was at my Dad's house; sirloin, green beans, and red potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives. My husband was extremely happy.
Yesterday I did a seafood pasta dish. Fish and shrimp in a spicy marinara sauce over linguine. It was good. It would have been better if I had tripled the hot sauce like I was supposed to and if the sauce was a bit thicker. I was almost the dish I used to eat at a place in Potsdam, NY when ever we had a special occasion. Thicker, spicier, and with escargot and muscles.
It's funny... it has been so long since I've worked with raw shrimp that I had to slice a shrimp on both sides to figure out where the vein was to devein it.
Thursday I'll cook lemon caper chicken over capellini.
