Dinner--or Dessert--Tonight

[Stockmann]

We don't usually make a big deal of St. Valentine's, but this year we kind of went all-out on cooking, so we had:

-Salmorejo (a variant of gazpacho from Cordoba) soup with serrano ham
-Spinach, dried cranberries, apple, cheese and coconut salad with balsamic vinaigrette
-Cheese fondue
-Chocolate fondue
-Spanish red wine and mineral water as drinks

That's an amazing dinner, Stockmann! I had not heard of salmorejo, but it sounds delicious from some of the recipes I found.  And easier to make than gazpacho.  Might have to try that one this summer.

What the hell is wrong is a few dry-ish cookies and a glass of milk?  Whaddyu want, a French gateau?

Sleep tight (and prowling with the bits lodged among the molars).

Kind neighbor sent me St. Patrick's Day dinner. The Irish soda bread was still warm.

Happy St Pat's Day to those of you who observe it.

I've not tried my hand al gazpacho, but salmorejo isn't hard to make nor particularly time-consuming. It's both filling and refreshing, so it's perfect for warm weather. We have it two or three times per month though we're not Cordobese or anything.

After yet another gloomy, rainy day, there is a hash brown casserole (with cheese and diced ham) in the oven.
