I got a really funny message from my BFF, Rach, on Tuesday evening about how oh, it’s a Tuesday that feels like a Monday, and even though we had a 3 (or 4, in her case) day weekend, it wasn’t long enough.<\/p>\n
Lots of cooking fun over the holiday weekend – Baked a peach raspberry pie <\/a>on Friday night; pork roast on the grill and baked beans, slaw and potato salad on Saturday; Mark’s mom’s sour cream waffles<\/a> & bacon & local melon for brunch on Sunday, per his son’s request for “grandma’s waffles” for his send off to drive the U-Haul to Minneapolis and go back to school; brats and green bean salad (this salad of Heidi’s<\/a> that I made with green beans and almonds instead of yellow beans and pepitas – I used low-fat coconut milk; mistake, woulda been tastier with full fat) and a few ears of corn on Monday. I was worried about who’d be there to eat everything, but Al & Emma and John all came to eat Saturday, I sent buckets of salad back to Milwaukee with John, and on Monday I biked over to Dorla’s<\/a> with half the pie, and Al came back to eat brats.<\/p>\n Tuesday there was a book launch party for the Local Food Journal<\/a> at the Weary<\/a>. I had made four baguettes over the weekend, and stuffed them with roasted broccoli, olives, and 3 kinds of cheese, including a ranch-style cream cheese spread, according to one of the recipes in the book. Joey Dunscombe<\/a>, who runs the kitchen at the Weary, was just a sweetheart about the event taking over his dining room & kitchen – and the whole thing was lots of fun.<\/p>\n Somehow or other, besides the food-related stuff, I worked Tuesday and Wednesday, got all of my classes up & running, met with two of them online, and then headed to Toronto on Thursday for the film fest<\/a>. We are seeing 18 movies in 10 days. We are here now. Here’re the pix; explanations to follow.<\/p>\n
