Where have I been this week? Close to home, a nice walk and lunch at Mason Social in old town north, the treadmill, the pool, lunch at an Indian restaurant in old town, The National Gallery of Art for a long walk, the library,
What have I been up to in the kitchen this week? Thursday and Friday nothing. Saturday I slow braised (275f for three hours) round steak with onions, mushrooms, and celery in red wine, with carrots and parsnips, and made a nice sauce from the braising liquid. I made a beef pie - featured in a foodie friday in a couple of weeks.
Who did I reach out to this week? Stephen - the guy who started me blogging - I was thinking of him when I read about the sheep movie coming out in May, he gifted us the book Three Bags Full that the movie is based on.
What have I been reading? Pappyland, someone recommended it in a comment on Doc Spo's blog, it is well written and having lived in Lexington and gone to law school in Louisville, the places in the book connect in my brain. And then started "Spice."
Your personal world is so rich. I love meat pies!
ReplyDeleteThere is a slice in the refrigerator, I can microwave for your lunch.
DeleteA slice? Don’t you just split it in half?
DeleteWe ate 3/4 for dinner, I had the rest for lunch today.
DeleteThe self-control is admirable.
DeleteSomeone who started you blogging! There isn't a link, so I guess he does not any more.
ReplyDeleteStephen stopped blogging years ago. Sad.
DeleteI heard about you reading Spice. You really like the dirty books don't you?!? LMAO!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat title, but the book is about the European's nasty -deadly voyages in search of spices.
DeleteI'll bet you're the envy of your condo building with all the delicious meals you prepare!
ReplyDeleteNo one seems to notice.
DeleteI love reading novels set in cities where I have lived. It's like the city and its descriptions are a character in its own right.
ReplyDeleteIt does add depth to the understanding.
DeleteI, too, am amazed by your culinary adventures. I think I do a lot of cooking but you put me to shame!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it, and now I have time.
DeleteYou've had lots of things to keep you busy this past week.
ReplyDeleteAnd time for a few afternoon naps.
DeleteI'm reading Three Bags Full right now and I'm really enjoying it. I bet the movie coming out will be great fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun book,
