Mussels and Riesling

August 27th, 2010

Last night I cooked dinner over at Riley’s parents. The salad is a quick version of the one in Spice. There’s fennel, oranges, and olives. The pasta has mussels, red concord grapes, leeks, Riesling, and cream. Riley liked the pasta but Penny was very suspicious of the mussels.

Tonight I ate: Tomatoes, cheddar cheese, little T house loaf, and Cameron 2007 Ghertz.

Down the Willamette

August 25th, 2010

Inspired perhaps by Robin Cody, I canoed down a river for the first time. With Kate and Riley we were looking for fossilized wood. The food I threw together rather haphazardly. For breakfast on the second day I made cous cous with onions, carrots, chives and cheddar cheese. Dinner was most satisfying though. After paddling all day we ate Deck farms hot dogs on Little T pretzel rolls.
