Tonight's dinner→[More:]
Some whole wheat pita bread.
Oh our dinner was the polar opposite of yours, j_p. Comfort food (and some leftover thanksgiving ingredients) all the way.
Roast pork with many, many cloves of garlic jammed into the meat
Mashed potatoes with a buttload of cream and grated parmesan
brussels sprouts, shallots, chestnuts and bacon
Tonight's dinner was lackluster. I was alone, and in the middle of emptying out and arranging our little office room, so it was fast and easy:
leftover vegetarian black bean soup, with the last of homemade sesame whole wheat rolls (picked off the single fleck of mold and it was fine) and a hunk of smoked gouda.
I drank water, although I just this moment remembered there's one decent glass of merlot left in the bottle from the weekend.
Thawed some beef stock and chopped up the remains of lastnight's roast. Threw in a bit of fresh sage, savory, thyme, and salt and pepper. Did a mixed green salad with a vinaigrette (pepper, garlic, white wine vinegar and white truffle olive oil) with some unsalted Canadian goat cheese Feta crumbled over it.
Chicken Marsala and Risotto cooked by the wife, then I bit the heads off some broccoli and polished it off with some pecan pie and cool whip (what the fuck is cool whip if not whipped cream? tastes a little funky) and to drink... Seltzer.
