Served a big midday dinner to a visiting friend. Olives and bocconcini for appetizers, salad with pine nuts and parmigiano reggiano curls, spaghetti and meatballs. Friend brought tres leches cake for dessert.
I really want a nap now, but I’d better haul my rear to the gym instead.
I know the OP didn’t ask for recipes, but would you mind a quick rundown of what’s in your homemade potato soup? I ask because last time I had some it was at a friend’s house and hers was totally creamy, nothing like what I remember as a kid or what I make for myself as an adult, which has chunks of potato. She put bacon in hers too, which was also new to me. Just curious, if you’re wiling to share. Sounds delicious in any case.
ETA my own lunch: a bowl of honey nut cheerios and a blood orange. Water.
It’s made by the woman who runs our canteen. In the winter, a different homemade soup every day. Today’s was potatoes the size of a newborn’s fist, whole milk, chicken broth, butter and a mysterious greek herb. Mmmmm…wonderful.
