Moosewood

Food here has been good, of late. I borrowed a Moosewood cookbook from Glen's mother last weekend, and have actually tried out a bunch of recipes from it. Tonight, we made Pasta with Endive and Beans. It came out well, although the recipe makes a rather disproportionate amount of sauce for the amount of pasta.

On Tuesday night, I made Cajun Skillet Beans, and then Corn Scones (really cornmeal scones, but they came out tasting just like "real" scones, with currants and all - great for breakfast, nuked for ten seconds, and then spread with strawberry jam). Wednesday, I made Winter Vegetable Stew, which we had with pumperknickle bread and strong cheese, as recommended by the cookbook. I thought it was good, but the stew seems to be the least liked dish I've made recently by the guys. On Thursday, I made Noodles with Mirin, which was supposed to be a soup, but really came out more like noodles with a mirin sauce. Glen and I made Scallion Biscuits to go with it, and, due to my misestimation of how many scallions we needed, we had to make two batches. Still, they seem to be disappearing at a good clip! Friday was leftovers (since we had things still from Tues, Wed, and Thurs), but I made Moosewood Brownies for dessert. This morning, I made Cornmeal Pancakes, which were really good. By later, we were definitely in need of groceries, so I marked another half dozen recipes and got supplies to support them.

However, one of my "sous chefs" (ha), Eric, has been pushing to go to Bugaboo Steakhouse recently, though, so I imagine at least one night (tomorrow?), we'll give the cookbook a break!
