Foggy Day of Work...
All I can say is thank goodness I can do this in my sleep, 'cause that is what I basically did today. I didn't even drink all that much at practice and didn't have a hang-over. I just think the two solid days of sausage making, plus teaching a 5 hour class on sausages, plus practice (Brion and I did squeeze in dinner alone on my birthday) and all of the bullsh*t going on with the Martinez Building Dept... well I am exhausted.
Today I made:
Rolled wafers (with the real cinnamon I got in Seattle)
Biscotti (with coriander, Scappi recipe)
Fillo dough filled with ricotta, carmelized onions, prunes and some spices
Tartlets (Will be filled with skyr and berries)
Pork (roasted, sliced) will be served with the Martino mustard Eduardo gave me
Romesco
Roasted heads of garlic
Hummus (Just because I like it, it's my own recipe)
Fruit
Scotch eggs (made with the home made sausage meat Stein and I made Tues/Wed. they are adorable)
Balsamic reduction (meant to be like Saba)
Softened the white beans and put them in the pot with the duck stock, celery, carrots, calabrese sausages, lardo, fresh thyme and I can't remember what else (there is a TON of it, so if you get in late Friday, come by and grab a bowl of it)
Already packed are the pickles and ground the Weaver's coffee. I have my French Press and my airpot. I packed the green almonds for HH Vittoria. I need to bring something to boil water in.
Still need to slice all the charcuterie. Do one platter for the Saluminati meeting, and then one for Sabrina's party. I packed all of the serving utensils but not the actual platters and bowls, which I still need to do, plus pack clothing and garb for the kids this weekend. Bri and I forgot pillows last weekend, which makes for a really sore and miserable night of sleep for Bri. I need to bring something really warm for Sara, or she will be miserable!
I will do a blogspot post update on the restaurant tonight as well.
