So I guess if this is a cooking blog I should talk about food at least a little.<\/p>\n

Friday I met Mark at a retirement party for somebody we both used to work with, although Mark much longer than me. After, with Jane & Jonathan, we went and had dinner at Graft<\/a>, a new-ish small plates restaurant. When we arrived it was still light with a lovely view of the Capitol, even if it wasn’t sunny enough to paint the dome pink as our host pointed out sometimes happens. We tried the fennel salad and mac&cheese, then got trout rillettes and a plate of bread because the crostini that came with weren’t quite enough. We also ate the pork belly garganelli (the little twisty ones), kind of a bolognase, and the short rib with cauliflower and horseradish. I broke my Dryuary with a martini and a beer, so things got a little blurry, but pleasantly so.<\/p>\n

Saturday night I heated up the leftover leek tart. It was a cookie party overflow, from the freezer, and we had eaten some of it for last Sunday brunch. To go with, I walked to Whole Food and got some baby arugula, and made a fake Caesar salad<\/a>. I didn’t even make croutons, just toasted some sliced almonds, and burned my chin on the baking dish, a baby glass pie plate, when smelling them to test for done-ness. And I finally made the sweet potatoes with bacon and caramelized onions from Small Victories<\/a> – so a quite heavy on the onions dinner, but no ill effects.<\/p>\n

I think I’m that crazy color because it’s reflecting off the computer. Today – Tuesday – I think the burn mark is actually giving my chinline a little more definition<\/p><\/div>\n

Suzanne started this game on Facebook (or probably somebody else started it, but Suz is the one of my friends playing) and she gave me Duchamp to post. I gave a few other friends Thomas Moran and Damien Hirst. Suzanne did a painting Peale, Rembrandt. I also gave out Jim Nutt, Ellsworth Kelly, Sokari Douglas-Camp, Barnett Newman, and Emily Carr.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Mark’s day was like go for a walk for coffee, go to the gym and swim (he’s started a new workout routine to get fit, working with a doc at UW Health Sports Med), then go for another walk for coffee, read the paper and watch the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

My Sunday was a little different. I got out the bread dough that had been rising in the fridge, and shaped it – two baguettes and a boule. Then I went out for a walk. Came home and had a little breakfast, and baked the bread. I packed Megan’s birthday goodie box, and started the beans cooking for our vegetarian chili to eat with the Super Bowl. I tried to record a short thing for my class, but didn’t have enough time – I had to leave to drive to the Dells to pick up the kids. I mean, I recorded it but it sucked and was too long at seven minutes. I trashed it, and when I got back recorded again and got it down to 5:00. But the package drop at the big post office was jammed, so I couldn’t mail the box till Monday morning. I made dough to wrap kosher dogs in for apps, and shredded cabbage for coleslaw, and got the chili cooking. It was pretty much the perfect Super Bowl supper but I only took pics of the dogs.<\/p>\n

It still really sucks that the falcons lost.<\/p>\n
