Sunday Dinner

While it's still fresh in my mind, want to share (pix only -- sorry!) what Dave made for dinner tonight.

Roasted veg: young purple carrots w/ lemon zest and dill; fingerling potatoes w/ rosemary; and Brussels sprouts w/ sea salt...



New York Prime steak, pan-seared 3 minutes per side, then slow-roasted; served with a red wine reduction (fond, garlic, shallots, fresh thyme, red wine) and topped w/ hen-of-the-woods mushrooms...



Fresh tomato w/ black pepper; Central Market multigrain demi-baguette w/ thyme butter (saved some of the bread for goat cheese toasts later in the week)...



Not pictured (OOPS!): fresh pluot, pan-seared, then baked; served w/ local lemon mascarpone cheese, honey, and fresh blueberries.

Goal this week: eat in every evening. Will get easier as temps cool off -- nighttime temps begin to drop this week -- good sign!

yum yum yum! Where'd you get those veggies? Did you grow them or buy 'em?

We bought 'em at Central Market - local place w/ great produce. The veg aren't necessarily local, but they're interesting and attractive varieties. Dave just parboiled the carrots and potatoes, then roasted them w/ a very light coat of olive oil. SO GOOD!
