verbicideI'm really inspired by all the new cookware my friends have gotten me, and it's making me want to try more adventurous recipes. Of course I think roasting is pretty adventurous. Less room to screw up than with a curry.
My brother and SIL are coming over for dinner tonight, and I'm making my first roast duck (inspired by Ina Garten's show) with simple sides --sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes. I bought some rosemary rolls. Trying to get over the guilt of buying any bread product and feeling should make everything in bread machine, sometimes there isn't the time!
I'm also going to try to make a tarte tatin, we'll see how that goes. Also, homemade vanilla bean ice cream.
So, the ice cream liquid is chilling in the fridge, as is the dough for the tarte tatin. I couldn't find a fresh duck, so the frozen one's nearly thawed in some water. Potatoes are boiled, will make in advance and reheat later. Should go core and peel the 12,000 apples this tarte recipe calls for!
