Day 56 - Noodles and Chard

Spaghettini with Oil and Garlic - pg. 92
Wilted Chard with Onion - pg. 309

I picked off 2 of the easy recipes tonight since I was out running errands all day. The chard dish was really good. I made the pasta with Trader Joe's lemon pepper papparadella which is flavorful and lovely.

I made another loaf of bread-machine bread this evening, but also today bought a 6-quart enameled cast-iron pot to try Jim Lahey's slow-rise bread method which I THINK ... and HOPE ... will give me the rustic loaf I really want to make.

My most interesting moment today was lunch with my friend Wendy who has significant expertise in the governance of non-profits. We talked non-profits, food, and cats and dogs. Wendy is a terrific woman, just terrific. I love her company.

And I found 3 really good Wilton baking sheets at Ross Dress-for-Less. They are smallish, but have handles on both ends. I think they will be absolutely ideal for oven roasting vegetables.

And ya-da, ya-da, ya-da.
