Are full of culinary possibilities because I usually have time to sit and legitimately cook. Tonight is my last dinner at Apt 245. Its heartbreaking...thinking about all the great (and not so great) things that have come out of that kitchen.
The dinner party I threw the first winter we were in the apartment...Beth making random pots of soup...the fire alarm going off even when nothing was burning...all fond memories...
So the real question is what the crap do I make to mark this occasion? I could do some of my standard favorites: pumpkin oatmeal, vegetarian reubens, spinach omlets, tofu stirfry, fatoush with lentils...i'm sighing with my wooden spoon in my hand.
But I figured why not dress things up a bit. So i have a hot date tonight with my indoor grill and yellowfin tuna. And because its St Patricks Day, i HAVE to eat cabbage. I wish i had the ways and means to whip up more traditional Irish desserts...like Apple & Barley Pudding, Donegal Oatmeal Cream, or a whiskey cake...but the cabbage will be good enough for me.
My new kitchen will hold another world of possibilities...and i can't wait to pack up the Kitchen Aid and get settled there. Twice the counter space will be nice for me, who's all arms and legs when it comes to cooking. I'm a deadly weapon in there...
I'll report on the Tuna finale for #245 on Monday. Gorge yourself on bangers and mash. But leave room for Guiness.
