Backing up to the Food Cloud
Last week we lost our menu plan. We were able to recreate most of it based on some conspicuous vegetables in the fridge - you don't just "forget" what you bought a beautiful brocollini for - but I cannot for the life of me recall what the bunch of fresh tarragon is for. It just sits on the shelf in the fridge, looking at me with it's lovely little yellow flowers and daring me to recall it's purpose.
To avoid future herb-use-amnesia (that sounds like a thinly veiled reference, it's not), Nathan suggested we keep notes on Posterous. Afterall, many of our recipes come from food blogs whose links you need to hunt for come cooking time. Plus, we go kind of crazy taking pictures with our snazzy new camera and I'd like an excuse to throw a non-food snap up every now and then.
Coming up next week:
Thai red curry with root vegetables
Almost cheeseless pasta casserole
Sunday:
And some non-food photos from my trip to the UK from the Biology of Spermatozoa Meeting:
Things you should know about the above:
1) Yeah, the English countryside really is that pastoral
2) Those genteel gardens are at Haddon Hall, where the 1996 film version of Jane Eyre was filmed. I discovered this not while at said gardens, but about 2/3 of the way through the film after Nathan got tired of me saying "I feel like I've been there before..." and insisted we Wikipoodle it.
3) As biologists, we were excited by the evidence of the mallards breeding with domestic ducks - check out that hybrid plumage!
