Back to our Northwoods Winterland Vacation Home

December 7th, 2010

Peapod rules!
But jetlag certainly does not.

"Fried" Chicken (EPI)
Cornbread from Jiffy box
Racket pasta with butter and salt
Puttanesca sauce (New Basics; NB)
"Stolen" Jar of Rose Petal Jam from the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong
...which led to...Currant Scones, Sarabeth Levine's recipe (EPI)

Max loved the fun pasta shape, not that pasta needs to be in any special shape for Max to love eating them.
Puttanesca is so easy! And so good!
In HK, my parents attended a special dinner cooked by a freshly flown-in Thomas Keller at the Mandarin Oriental. They came home with a gift bag. I stole the jam. I was not sure what it was really, just had a feeling it would be good. When we got home, I opened the lid and had a taste...high tea at the Mandarin! Scones with clotted cream...and this exact jam! It all made sense, the memories all came back. "I must make some scones to eat this with!"
