foreign cooking

OK, so Max is still in town until Wednesday and this means there is always more food. But first I would like to thank Craig and Michelle for being my first journal commenters, you guys made my day. Max couldn't believe the picture I posted of him the other day, so now I will put up the picture from where he made salad for lunch yesterday. Here he is:

It was very good, mixed greens and homemade salad dressing, right up my alley.

Last night for dinner I wanted to make something new. I have been reading about gnudi (nude ravioli) for a while, and I wanted to try it. Last night seemed like a good opportunity, so I got the ingredients at Whole Foods and whipped it up. I found a few recipes online for gundi, but this was the one I used. Only I didn't put spinach in mine (I made spinach bechamel on the side instead) and I did use sage leaves and fry them together in the saucepan before serving them with the sauce. I really liked them, but you certainly don't need much, one bowl fills you up quickly, although they are very light and fluffy when you eat them. Here was the finished product:


I've come to the conclusion that I like cooking Italian. There are a lot of good looking Italian recipes in the May issue of Bon Appetit. Maybe some of those will be making appearances soon.
