Alice Waters: Roasted Squid


I knew better, and I did it anyway.

For dinner I made Alice Waters' Roasted Squid with Breadcrumbs and Oregano (Cafe), with her carrot salad (SF) on the side. The results were received exactly as I had expected: very, very badly. 

So Mark and I ate most of this fairly tasty dinner ourselves. To accompany the squid I made a really excellent, pale green, super-garlicky aioli. I'm sort of hooked on this whole mayonnaise/aioli-making process, which is not necessarily good news.

For dessert, I baked an apricot galette (Fruit) using apricots I brought from Utah. It was very handsome and elegant, but a galette is not quite as delicious as pie. It's a little austere, and you can't dig into a slice of galette the way you dig into a piece of pie.

I also just prefer the word "pie."

  2. ابدأ ، ولا تتوقف حتى تنتهي مدة 10 دقائق (على محمل الجد ، أوصي بإعداد المنبه خاصة إذا كنت تعرف أن 10 دقائق هي كل ما لديك). في المطبخ ، قم بإزالة أكبر قدر ممكن من الفوضى من أسطح الطاولات ، وإذا كنت في شك ، فضعها بعيدًا.شركة النجوم لخدمات التنظيف
