One other thing...or two other things...no...make that three other things
Since I am getting more comfortable with posting photos, and getting a better idea of what works and what doesn't work, I am going to try something involving food, recipes, photography, etc. Ain't promisin' nuttin' at this point, because I will need to experiment, but if it works, it could be fun.
And speaking of experimentation...
Last night was the dinner for me to test my new inventions that I will be cooking for the G.K. Chesterton night. So far, the meat dishes passed with flying colors. What I will need to work on is the wild rice, leek, lemon and shrimp risotto. I have never used wild rice quite this way, and I am realizing that I will have to use some regular arborio rice, as the starch content of the wild rice is way too low.
So, sometime this week I will be working on take two of that dish.
Meanwhile, I recommend attending, and I recommend selecting some other penance for Friday and eating the meat dishes.
Get your tickets right away, you don't want to not have a ticket on Friday.
By the way, for my birthday on Thursday (I did mention that, didn't I?), the tradition is to eat a classic cheese fondue. I am not sure we will be doing that, since I will be cooking all day. But you can certainly have a good fondue, even if I end up eating pizza.
It is the official food of the the First Day of the Month of Ducebruary.
