Baked Meatballs ... and Stuff
I'm so bored that the dozens of pictures that I took over the last month or so are languishing on my hard drive, unlikely to ever see the light of day. And the July clear-out post of pictures, scheduled to drop, eventually, is probably going to be deleted, as there's nothing really new in them.
The most exciting thing I've made since my last post (NOT yesterday's Italian bread post) is a batch of baked beef meatballs which I combined with jarred mushroom spaghetti sauce and rotini pasta for today's supper. I toasted a couple of slices of the bread for garlic bread.
A few days ago I thawed the last of the hamantaschen pastry from Christmas. Today, I rolled out the pastry, cut out 2 inch circles and shaped them into a sort of 'bow-tie' cookie filled with mincemeat, also leftover from Christmas. Tasty but otherwise ... meh.
In a recent 'conversation through blog comments' with a blogging friend I mentioned my last culinary shopping splurge, at the local LCBO ... a bottle of Niagara Pinot Grigio and a bottle of sake. The Pinot was slated for risotto and/or mussels in a white wine and tomato sauce, and the sake was supposed to be paired with something sushi related. It didn't happen. In the middle is a bottle of Polish made mead in a ceramic bottle gifted to me by my nephew. I'll have to do something creative with it, one of these days.
And that's about it, folks.
