… in my last post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday was a work from home day, but I didn’t have any meetings until noon, so I started the day with a bike ride through the Arb, stopping by the library to pick up a hold book and return a cookbook that I decided to buy, finally swinging by Penzey’s. They’d had a promotion, buy anything and get a free (tiny, 2 oz.) bottle of vanilla. It ended Thursday, so I ordered for pick up on Friday because I didn’t have time to go over there on Thursday.<\/p>\n

While I was off for the ride, I left shallots and tomatoes roasting in the oven for a roasted tomato-shallot-basil sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My roasted mixture was only 2 cups so I bought a can of tomato sauce at the corner store to wind up with a better volume of sauce.<\/p>\n

My plan is to use for lasagna, and also over turkey-zucchini meatballs<\/a>, since I’m sure all the recommendations that the Dr. will be giving me (even if I’m still saying fuck off to them<\/a>) are going to be to eat more lean protein. Like turkey meatballs.<\/p>\n

I worked the rest of the afternoon, then washed my hair and we ate a some-assembly-required dinner – mostly kimchi biscuit<\/a> sandwiches, Mark’s had bacon, mine had homemade zucchini pickles, lower fat since the biscuits already have cheese in them, and Mark finished the coleslaw and I had salad – greens with balsamic vinagrette.<\/p>\n

Then we headed off to see Sense & Sensibility at APT<\/a>. We liked it, but we’re suckers for anything Austen. It had some clever staging where you heard one side of a conversation as that group of people was moving past the other side of the conversation. The casting was pretty good, I just thought the actor they had play Edward was a little stiff. Of course my opinions are formed by the 1995 Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant Sense & Sensibility<\/a>, so the APT actor’s only flaw, probably, for me, is that he simply is not Hugh Grant. Like for some people, Colin Firth is the only Mr. Darcy<\/a>, although I have to admit that since the Joe Wright, Keira Knightly, Matthew Macfadyen<\/a> version from 2005, Macfadyen has become my favorite Darcy. And Colin Firth is the best Mr. Darcy in the Bridget Jones films<\/a> instead. For me, anyways. It is a matter of opinion, of course.<\/p>\n

And the ribs were kind of a disaster<\/a> – I let the coals burn down to all the way grey, but they still burnt to a crisp on the grill. The grilled corn and potatoes were pretty perfect though, to make up.<\/p>\n

Today for brunch we had deep dish quiche with collards and sausage and red peppers, something I’d been wanting to try since we enjoyed the deep dish quiche<\/a> at Floriole<\/a> in Chicago. I don’t think I have the custard to filling ratio quite right as yet – too much greens to egg – but the crust is good, and looking at the picture reminds me that I got leeks in my CSA box, too, so maybe another try with leeks is in order.<\/p>\n

And John & Megan went to New York City.<\/p>\n

PS – Sunday night, I made the leftover quiche crust into an apple galette.<\/p>\n

It got kind of dark & stormy on Sunday afternoon\/evening – I upped the brightness on this pic, and put it on Insta with a filter<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n
