"Sir, respect your dinner: idolize it, enjoy it properly. You will be many hours in the week, many weeks in the year, and many years in your life happier if you do."~William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863)
For dinner last night Anne and I prepared dinner together using a recipe from Rachel Ray's cookbook 2, 4, 6, 8 Great Meals for Couples or Crowds. This is about the third recipe Anne has prepared from the book, which she received as a gift for Christmas, but the first I "helped" with. It was great fun to work together, though more than "helping" I was a de facto sous chef... preparing ingredients (browned sesame seeds for the Bibb Lettuce Salad) and moving used pans and bowls out of her way.
In the end, the dinner we prepared from the book was "Anytime is Springtime Supper" which consisted of Shrimp Primavera Pasta with leeks, peas, and asparagus with Bibb Lettuce Salad with Sesame Shallot dressing.
While I have rarely watched her show, I dig the dishes which come about as a result of reading Rachel Ray's cookbook... tasty and an opportunity for togetherness!
Embrassez votre été invincible!
