Oh Lordy be...that was rich.

I made agnolotti stuffed with sweet potato puree (amongst other things) in a sage, butter, cream sauce. It was more involved than that, but boy, was it good.

It's the first time I've tried this particular pasta dough recipe, and it was fantastic. It uses duck fat, and the end result melts in your mouth.

Yesterday evening, I tossed together something that turned out great.... a spicy stir-fry with pork, snow peas and chunks of pineapple and a sauce based on pineapple juice and Asian sweet chili sauce. I had expected it to be okay, but this is one of those happy times when you try something out and it exceeds all expectations. Just plain delicious.

The recipe is up on our blog if anyone is interested.

I made pizza for friends last night using my marinara sauce and freshly made mozerella (our neighborhood Italian deli makes it fresh on Thurs and Sat and it is ready at 4 PM). Using the leftover dough, I tried to create a lemon/sage foccacio that a local (now defunct) restaurant brought to the table when you sat down....it worked. I spread the dough on an oiled half pan, sprinkled EVOO on top, then added thin slices of lemon and chopped fresh rosemary, added some sea salt and a sprinkling of parm and baked it. It was just like I remembered and made a nice appetizer.

I made the bean, sausage and pasta soup that Katie posted on her blog a few weeks ago. (this is the second time I've made it in 2 weeks) Just had some for lunch - yum!
More on the freezer thread.

Amy,

Duck fat in the pasta dough?

Yes indeed, and it was unbelievably fantastic...totally melted in your mouth. Three ingredients: flour, duck fat and boiling water.

Yum.

Amy

We had London broil, quinoa with gremolata, and a salad. DH will have leftover meat as a breakfast "steak."

Amy,

Good lord. Sounds decadent.

Also appropriate for agnolotti. Or should it be "anginalotti"?

Nice spicy turkey meatloaf and rosti potatoes. (I think that's redundant). Mixed veg from the freezer. A nice, easy meal.

Balsamic-glazed salmon, butter-roasted potatoes, and salad with creamy peppercorn dressing. I only wish I'd had a nice Under the Kilt Wee Heavy Ale to go with it.

Or a Duchess do Bourgogne. It's so good with salty potatoes.
