    What fun we had! :smile:

    Carrie, if I recall correctly, the egg in your dish was a chestnut omelet. I've got that dreaded CRS, so could be wrong! Don thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers for dinner last night!

    Sorry your day ended so badly. I'll try to work Nirvana into my schedule sometime soon--I hadn't heard of it. Can't wait to see you in September--I'll email you the dates sometime later.

    Parsley Salad

    Here's one of my favorite salads from Gustaf Anders which sadly is gone from So. Cal.

    Parsley Salad with Basil Dressing Gustaf Anders

    1 small shallot, minced

    ¼ garlic clove, minced

    ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves

    ½ cup rice wine vinegar

    ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

    4 cups fresh parsley leaves, rinsed and spun dry

    4 teaspoons drained and thinly sliced sun dried tomatoes

    6 cherry tomatoes

    4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan

    freshly ground pepper, to taste

    In a blender blend the shallot, garlic, basil and vinegar. With the motor running, add the oil in a stream and blend until emulsified.

    In a salad bowl, mix the parsley, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan. Drizzle with 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.

    Serves 2 to 4

    Learning to eat by cooking

    Good news!  I learned yesterday that a shop will be opening in OC soon that will focus entirely on a cooking service.  They prepare a week's menu for and with you; purchase, pre-measure and bag the ingredients; then teach you how to prepare the meals; and package them up for you to take home.

    They will also provide wine pairing suggestions, wine samples, and featured wines to purchase with your meals.

    The store is scheduled to open in March.  I don't have the name or address yet, but I will post the information as soon as I receive it.

    There are a couple of those already open in south county. They've been around for a year or so I think. I think one is called Dinners Made Easy (or something like that) and I can't remember the other. I'll watch for the ads to get the names right.

    If you're looking for a copy of the user's manual and no one here has one, I've got 2 suggestions. Contact WS and ask them if they can send one. Look on eBay to see if someone is selling one that has the manual. Contact the seller and ask if they will make a copy of the manual and send it to you (you'd pay for the copies/postage). I just had someone do that with a tapedeck I'm selling. :wink:
