I
can’t think of anything better than this: being surrounded by
friends, drinking wine, and preparing a meal together. Those who can
cook prepare their specialties to share; those who cannot are
responsible for topping the wine off; it’s a beautifully balanced
ballet. I am always the cook, and besides the creative/controlling
aspect, my favorite thing about being the cook is that my glass is
always full; and then after, when my belly is singing with delightful
hurt, I can simply sit back and relax as everyone else cleans up. I
am totally winning.
I
have decided to bring back Sunday Suppers at my house, and to get
warmed up this week I went with a spicy seared salmon, fried jasmine
rice and a cool cucumber and broccoli salad. This was one those meals
that transpired out of nowhere and ended up being one to make again
and again. One: it is super flavorful; two: it is easy; and three: it
is healthy. Again, I am winning.
