Fettuccine with Asparagus & Shrimp
This is again from the Tucci cookbook. On 11-11 he turned 63 according to our paper today. This was dinner last night but it will also be dinner tonight and then we go to the Opera. It was not the best out of this cookbook. The pasta did not cook as I wanted and I…
Italian Bread Dumpling Soup
Finally, I get to cook while Jim does his wine zoom. this is more or less from the Tucci cookbook. Too me it is very cold here; others find it a relief from the summer heat. The recipe was soup and sounded interesting. Tucci says this is a northern Italian recipe and I like northern…
Halloween
Halloween on a road near us. They are building what is called tall skinnies everywhere here in Nashville. Builders buy a house, tear it down and build 6 houses. There are 2 styles from the outside that I like. One sells for only 1 million the other is 1.5 million. This house always has a…
Broiled Gnocchi with Red Bell Pepper, Chard, and Goat Cheese
This recipe from Fine Cooking was super delicious. The recipe calls for frozen gnocchi. The store did not have this, but they did have it vacuum packed. The directions were different from the recipe. I say follow the directions on your package. Ingredients 1 oz. (2 T) unsalted butter 2 leeks, trimmed, cleaned, and light-green…
Miso Salmon with Asparagus and Carrots
The 21st was our 53 weddin anniversity. We went to ETC. It was opened close to us by my favorite chef from Etch in Nashville. Wednesday night Jim had a Let’s Dance board meeting. I fixed a garden salad with tuna. I mixed the tuna with a little of my homemade pesto and used a…
Steamed Cauliflower with Walnut Vinaigrette
I have not fallen off the face of the earth. We were in Indianapolis with Southern Rhapsody. It is a group that puts on 3 days of big band ballroom dancing. We ate at the Club Corp Club, St Elmo’s Fire, and the Webber Grill. Webbers Grill is a chain around the Chicago area. I…
Liepers Fork
Another night of dining on Pam’s vegetables. I fixed my Lemon Shrimp with a great salad and Green Farro. I saw a recipe for green rice that used green peppers. I didn’t want rice so I put a little EVOO in a pan and sautéed the green peppers. Then I added water and farro and…
Good and Simple
Dinners have been good the last 2 nights, but not gourmet. Last night we had my favorite meal made special by Pam’s fresh produce. Salad with tuna in it. Last night it was lettuce, tomato, tuna, cheddar cheese, cucumber and green pepper. I dressed it in Italian dressing. Delicious. I was busy all day so…
West Indies Crab Salad
Pam is a great facebook poster so I am sure those of you who are on Facebook have seen us working on our stained glass pieces. It was fun to have a fun Sunday instead of working all day to prepare for the week. Before I left the class in Watertown, I made the following…
Pork Tenderloin Stir-Fry
The bad news is you will not be seeing any recipes that have gluten, wheat, corn, oats grains or soy for a while as I have been asked to refrain from these to stop the itching skin. The good news is this does not involve gin or wine. Unfortunately after hearing this news all I…
