I am not well and therefore I took the weekend off. Like off, off. But get this: I still cooked a little, and I didn't have to measure a thing!!!! AND I used as much garlic as I wanted! I know vampires are trendy right now (like all you can eat sushi!) but seriously, I LOVE it.
Here is what is so weird about the book: It says in most recipes that contain garlic to use one clove. Does that even make a difference? First of all, I pretty much put garlic in everything I make, and I usually use about 6 or 7 cloves. I wonder if maybe this will be like detox from spice and garlic and then I'll really appreciate it when I can have it! For instance, I made dinner for my mom last night: Kamut Angel Hair with fresh mushrooms, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, garlic, pepper, parm, chili flakes and smoked salmon. (OF COURSE I de-glazed with white wine, it's my favourite!) It was so much fun to just throw a bunch of stuff into a pan without measuring or reading. FREEDOM!!! (Wow. I'm laaaaaaame....) But it was really fun. Probably the company, too :)
Tonight we are having hummus, salsa, olive tapenade, snow peas, mango, sopressatta, olives and dim sum. I'm going to enjoy every morsel, since tomorrow I think it's Roquefort and walnut salad (barf!) and stuffed turkey breast... Yes, kids, the holiday is over tomorrow, so tonight I'm going to cook like it's 1999!
