dr. rei made egg noodles with the bagna cauda and radicchio and the poached egg - i love her plates. they're so her with her love of canadiana and duck hunting and wearing tweed on a crumbling estate with a library where you swirl sherry in a glass and read out loud from dickens:
tonight i pitted a billion pounds of sour cherries to make a sour cherry pie. i also made that frangipane tart again but used raspberries this time instead of figs. i made these desserts to bring up to R&R acres this weekend. we're leaving thursday night and staying until sunday. R&R acres is the dotytron's parents' friends' farm. i'm so excited! they have 100 acres - most of which are rented out to farmers who grow stuff like feed corn. they have a small hobby vegetable farm and at various times have had chickens, pigs, horses, goats, and sheep. i think right now they just have sheep and/or goats. it's just north of walkerton and the saugeen river runs through their property. it's been at least 4 years since i've been there last. i'm super-pumped about it. it's going to be so relaxing.
for dinner i made us mushroom tagliatelle (i got it in the food box from my colleagues at work before the wedding) with pesto, broccoli rabe, an a leftover, lone italian sausage i had sitting in the freezer forever. it was TASTY. it looks like a pile of dog crap but trust me, fresh pesto is amazing. for dessert we went to ed's AGAIN. gah! having that place nearby is killing my low-carb intentions. i got a mix of pina colada and passionfruit gelato and it was HEAVENLY. good thing it takes us 20 minutes to walk there and another 20 back. oy.
fin.
