MENU FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 11, 2013

My arm continues to be a problem, although it is a hell of a lot better than last week. Warner continues to do the cooking. Ergo, I’m looking for simple foods – especially dishes we can “dump” in the slow cooker and let them do their thing.

Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, but we did the corned beef and cabbage bit (New England Boiled Dinner) this week. So Warner is going to do his wonderful Irish Stew which is always a most satisfying hearty treat. The first time he made it for me was before we were married. At the time I was a rather thin being – weighing in at less than 110. Generally I had a small appetite – but I dug into this wonderful dish and had four helpings. Must have been the Irish ancestry calling out.

MENU FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 4, 2013

I took a nasty fall last weekend and as a result, have had limited use of my right arm. Needless to say, I wasn't able to cook and Warner has had to step up to the bat – so to say. He’s been exceedingly good natured about it all given the fact that normally the only two things he wants to know about dinner is (1) what time it is and (2) what wine should he serve.

As such, we've eased up on things a bit to take it easy on him. But I really do have to comment about his statement that he just wants to keep things simple. This from the Pickle Prince of Pomona, the Chairman of Charcuterie, the Mogul of Marmalades of Many Flavors, the King of the Stock Shop, the High Priest of Ganach….Simple indeed!
