I have OB and Em coming over on Saturday to try my first attempt at duck (recipe courtesy of Ina Garten). I haven't decided what to serve with it yet, but am excited nonetheless. Probably sauteed spinach and a potato dish of some kind.

Next Saturday, I'm going to try some honest-to-goodness French cuisine. Sarah and Emily are coming over and I'm going to try to make: gougeres (which is cheating a little because I know I can easily make those), a very light green salad with lemon-y vinaigrette, coq au vin, assiette de fromage, and tarte tatin with homemade vanilla ice cream. Depending on how the baguette making adventure goes, there may be a fresh baguette that day, too.

I may do a test run of the tarte tatin for OB and Em, too. Want to make sure the skillet I have in mind is up to the task. (Not the new shiny that Sarah got me, because I can't let that get too hot.)

I just got off the phone with my SIL Em. I will be saying this for awhile, so my apologies for the repetition, but it is so freaking nice having them live so close. Anyhow, after all the roast turkey and stuff, I want some Paki food. So I called my mom and got her recipe for aloo gosht (a potato/beef curry) which both OB and Em also love, so I'm going to double the recipe and take them some. I can't believe that just a few months ago that would be been completely impossible (because Port Orchard is the opposite side of the universe). I'm also going to make some keema mutter and perhaps try my hand at naan. And because I'm feeling amitious, perhaps test out that crockpot recipe for kheer.

And also perhaps today will involve some Jeff-ness. If the weather continues to be horrendously crappy, we may not be able to do Greenlake as hoped, though. Meh. I might just do it anyway, because I need to get some fresh air. First, away to Safeway!
