another rainy day

Posted by on February 6, 2010 in cook | 7 comments

It's dark and gloomy and wet, so we are hibernating around here this weekend. So there's not much to report, just soup, knitting, sleeping dogs, and Netflix Watch Instantly movies. I recommend I've Loved You So Long and The IT Crowd. The first is poignant and heart-wrenching, the other is bust-a-gut hilarious. 

I also made up a salad that was quite tasty. Mache (Lamb's lettuce), good bacon (I used apple-smoked bacon from Trader Joe's), avocado, grape tomatoes, and a vinegar-y honey mustard dressing. I also had some Almondina toasts from Trader Joe's, spread with Cambozola cheese (a soft, blue cheese). I highly recommend this combination.

If you're disappointed in my lack of creative projects, might I suggest you go see the quilt my sister just finished. You won't be sorry.
