More snow on Saturday. Spent all day in the house, cleaning up the bedroom, reorganizing closets and dressers. Bags and bags of goodwill stuff so no excuses for not putting current clothes away! Didn't really have an actual meal all day - made a juice blend of beet, apple, fennel, cranberry kale and ginger. nibbled a bit, went to the 12th night revelry and had some cheese and grilled veg, a few pieces of salami, a glass of wine and two beers. Had a bit of a tummy ache before going out but felt great for the rest of the night. Maybe the alcohol was medicinal?
This morning I started taking down the tree, but I have so much trouble finishing things, it still has about 10 ornaments and all the lights, maybe tomorrow. Made an egg sandwich before I went in to work for the opening today - which was very well attended. Snacked a bit on some crackers and nuts. A trip to Giant to pick up some meat to make Boeuf Bourguignon A La Julia Child Recipe - Food.com - 148007 which will be tomorrow nights dinner. Came home and made a rosemary martini while preparing Butternut Squash Lasagna both of which were fantastic. Cocktail was Bulldog gin, dry vermouth a sprig of fresh rosemary (beginning of the plant trifecta) served up with a lemon peel and onion. Sauteed cubed squash in some olive oil and garlic then added a few fresh sage leaves (cute plant saves the day again) a splash of water and covered and cooked until tender. Mashed it up with a fork, salt and pepper. Made a tasty bechamel with nutmeg, bay leaf and a shake of red pepper flakes. Layered it up with some fresh thyme (little plant, I love you!) and lots of reggiano parm. Served with a salad it was perfect for a frigid night. Not to mention the delicious smell of boeuf bourguignon wafting from the oven while we ate. If only I had used some of the parsley I had in the fridge - I feel a song coming on.
