Dinners lately haven’t felt complicated or frustrating or tiring. It’s kind of the best feeling. I don’t know why dinners sometimes felt so daunting in the past. Perhaps I was picking the wrong recipes or maybe I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I do now. There is a nice rhythm to things and a curiosity I don’t think I ever had in the kitchen.
Tonight - post Momo’s dinner and pre Noah’s - I got to making Marcella Hazan’s tomato sauce with onion and butter, which I also saw on Food52’s IGTV. It was perfectly simple and delicious.
The recipe is here and you can also see how it is made on Food52’s IGTV.
And what did we do with our onion? We decided to leave it in the sauce.
Yesterday we had a triple movie marathon in the evening beginning with Angels & Demons then Men in Black: International and finally Escape Room (kind of sad but we had the most fun watching Escape Room). I have to finish up my current book, The Acts of King Arthur and His Nobel Knights by John Steinbeck (on the last story), but I think we may do another movie night. I’m sure we’ll find something between Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ (anyone else spend an unhealthy amount of time just scrolling through titles and watching the previews and trailers?)
I’m just about to join everyone downstairs. Yangkyu is already downstairs with the dogs but I still like to keep an eye out on things through the pet cam. And it looks like both Noah and Momo are sleeping soundly. Sweet pups.
Another day in the books. Another peaceful evening in progress.
