eating, playing, week of sep 29

little dom's been feverin' lately, but he's slowly getting better.

for the past year and a half i've been working my way through cookbooks and stuff, learning new recipes and techniques, rarely repeating myself. it's a challenge, and sometimes beth wants an old favorite that fell way back, but overall we've found a few gems. here's a couple we made this week:

• Crisp, Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Lemon Garlic Greens
• cashew chicken, actually an old favorite we haven't made for some time
• lentil soup with bacon, actually a variant of this recipe but you get the idea

been getting into wooden toys for dominic. i can't bring myself to spend $56 a set on wooden blocks, so i've been investigating making my own. stay tuned ...

does dominic need his own homepage on kidmondo? it may simplify stuff for his relatives to keep track of him.

also been thinking about finally painting inside the house. i wonder if we could pull off peacock blue cabinets.

shadow on studio 360

found this online while digging for a story i heard recently.

shadow, many years ago, was an awakening for me to a resurgent hip hop and way better DJs than when i was a kid. i still enjoy his work. he's on tour this summer with cut chemist in their third installment of an all 45rpm scratchfest, the hard sell. i've heard excerpts. quite impressive, yet again.

food ideas for week of sep 22 2008

via various blogs, some ideas of things i may make this coming week. rather than putting them in the wiki and hoping i remember, here they are:

• confit biyaldi, to capture those delicious end of summer veggies
• Strozzapreti al Sugo di Carne, a make and freeze meal for later this winter
• risotto with squash and sage, always a hit in our house
• upside down apple cake as we enter autumn
• Sigara Boregi, i think both beth and i would enjoy these
• Moroccan Chicken with Apricot-and-Olive Relish looks worth a try
• Langues de Chat (Cats Tongues) for snacking
• Chicken in Vinegar Sauce to continue my french food theme as of late

i also need to capture my herbs from my garden box.

as a quick report, Sauteed Chicken with Olives, Capers and Roasted Lemons was not so good. the acid of the lemons and the brine of the capers and olives did not make for an appetizing flavor. next time i'll skip the olives and capers. however, Chicken with Piquillos, aka pollo casero, was a hit. one small serving left at home.
