Dinner Date
Last night Emily and I went to the first night of “What’s for Dinner,” a six-week continuing education class designed to expand the average home cook’s repertoire. At the beginning of the night, the twelve students there went over what we were going to cook:
- Mixed greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette
- Milanese-style minestrone
- Soft polenta with fontina and fresh thyme
- Pan seared, honey glazed pork loin
- Raspberry oatmeal bars
The class and materials fees came to a little over $100. Not a bad deal for about a week’s worth of full dinner recipe ideas and social exchange.

I find this highly amusing. I expect that next time I come for a stayover you will have full meals prepared for me.

You bet! We’ll make you a four course meal:
Cap’n Crunch
Toast (now with butter!)
Milk

Part of this complete breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
We did recently get the pasta making attachment for our mixer. I’ve made spinach spaghetti, and we’re going to have a big ravioli cookoff next weekend.
