First - serious hats off to the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen for HAVING GLUTEN FREE BREAD!!!! I thought this was a place I'd never get to try because, well, their menu consists of grilled cheese sandwiches. But they have house made gluten free bread! And it was good! As good as the sourdough that my husband had his on? Probably not. But I'll take it!!!
Tried the squid ink risotto at La Briciola on Friday night - I think it may have some flour in it. Or else I ate something that made my stomach a little bit upset.
Saturday we opted to cook a beautiful meal at home - pork shoulder (or leg, we can't remember), roasted fingerling potatoes and sauteed brocolini with red pepper flakes, shallots and lemon juice. We had a great Croatian cheese and pickled veggies to start. Dry riesling (Alsacian) to start and Ripasso with dinner. For dessert? Mexican chocolate with salted peanuts ice cream from Bi-Rite and Salt Caramels from Recuitti. Delish! The leftovers were great as hash this morning as well with a piece of Udi's gf toast and a poached egg. Yum.
So, on to Valentines. I am cooking, and looking forward to a yummy meal.
I found a recipe on TTSF for a french onion soup, sans soup (more like a french onion fondue). That will be the app, and I'm checking out the Mariposa bakery to pickc up something to dip into it.
Main course will be gf gnocchi - I was originally thinking of making this from scratch, but time constraints and my lack of a food scale were making it a little bit of a reach. Luckily, Mariposa also claims to have gnocchi in their refrigerated section, so I'll be picking some of that up tomorrow as well. Planning on hitting up the fishmonger to get some scallops, or mussels, or whatever looks good. Next stop will be the farm produce shop, and then the last stop will likely be Recuitti.
Recap to follow!
