I’m coming out of “hiding” (I visit often but am shy about posting) to combat some anxiety, in hopes of “obsessing” over things other than the impending doom anxiety convinces you of. 😊
I love this thread, it gives me tons of ideas for dinner when I have none – everything always looks amazing! I also love seeing your bottles (I write or translate about wine every day) especially because most of your bottles are hard to come by where I live. I get all the Italian wine I want, living in the suburbs of Milan. But the rest? Not so much.
Thank you so much everyone for keeping me company during the long Italian quarantine and slow bounce-back.
Here are some latest, perhaps not greatest, meals and sorry about the bad photography and plating. 😊
So there's potatoes and green beans in homemade pesto (with basil grown on my balcony and vegetables from my weekly delivery from local farms)...
A big bone-in steak on the barbecue. It weighed a kilo. Rare inside, but no pic...
Lamb sugo over tagliatelle. Sorry about the smears on the plate.
Broiled Salmon with mustard, capers and dill. Dill is finally available in (parts of) Italy! But this one is from my balcony.
Risotto with Calamari
Edited to say: P.S. I hope I did this right!
