Cooking
A good sign life is returning to normal? Food prep has nothing to do with chocolate, candy decorations, or anything else holiday-related.
We hadn't actually planned a menu, but I was ready to do some 'normal' cooking. Normal is the watch-word.
Practically from memory, I made a batch of focaccia, so I needed something vaguely Italian to go with.
Soup sounded good, so I kind of felt my way around, making a nice garlic-based broth, and added tinned tomatoes and cooked potatoes. A rind from some cheese we consumed in December also made an appearance, followed by a grating of Asiago on top.
Very simple, very home-y, very satisfying. Back to life as we know it.
This month, we're keeping things Black & White.
Our canapes, our drinks; everything in Black & White.
The party is Saturday, 20 January; please 'RSVP' by Thursday, 18 January, with your entries. (thehappysorceress at gmail dot com)

Hope to see you there!

For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave us the cookbook Noodle Fusion. Even a simple peruse showed promise; I picked the Ginger Noodles for the test run. Red onion and ginger and garlic, stir fried, added to soaked and drained noodles, mixed with a flavored...
