Saturday breakfast: vanilla rolls.
Today's lunch: beef shortribs, which I originally intended to casserole with carrots and leeks, but then remembered a sort of chinoiserie (I don't think it was ever particularly authentic) beef stew I used to make, and therefore cooked them slowly in soy sauce + rice wine + water, with garlic and star anise and a small amount of sugar. It was okay but I expected them to come out rather tenderer than they did. Served with the carrots roasted in avocado oil, the leeks (appropriate to the day, except I think one is meant to wear rather than eat them?) healthy-grilled in pumpkin seed oil and splashed with raspberry vinegar, flower sprouts roasted in olive oil, and broccoli florets steamed and tossed in a tamari, rice vinegar and mustard dressing.
There seems to be a fair amount of bread around, but there may be baking during the week. This entry was originally posted at http://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2237833.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
