I’ll be teaching a Roman cooking class at my place this Sunday. Ancient Roman.
The plan is to start noonish with stuffed dates and then prep a pork roast and get that in the oven.
While the big hunk o’meat is cooking, we’ll make sauces for it and I’ll let people look through my cookbooks and we’ll make anything that looks intriguing.
I’m thinking there should be lentils and chestnuts… or maybe just lentils (those chestnuts are a pain to skin).
And there’ll be nibbling all the way through.
I have a decent amount I need to get done this weekend, so I’m not up for any trips out of state, but – I’m thinking apple picking would make a nice afternoon this Saturday.
Where: Linvilla Orchard
What: fruit list
I have room in my car for three other people, if anyone else is interested. And unless you are a pie-giving freak, a boxful is more than plenty for 4 people.
Note: We will not be going near the pumpkin fair or the farmers market, and there will still probably be too many kids – but I think we can be in and out in two or three hours, not counting travel time, and still feel as though we have savored the outdoor autumn life. Or something like that.
So last time I went, I look the way where you just go on this road, turn onto another road, and then you are there. Only that took an hour and a half. I think that if I stay off of Baltimore Pike/Road, which I have decided is an evil road (scenic, but soul sucking, then I can probably get there in a third of the time. Really – mapquest says so. 🙂 Don’t worry, I also have a real map.
Woot! We’ve got a special project that can only be done the coming weekend, and my student worker is quitting before then!
*dances*
I’m getting overtime!
So who wants to help me spend that money by going for yum cha at 10:30-ish on Sunday at Joy Tsin Lau?
The weather is perfect, and I want nothing more than to spend all my time in my backyard and in my apartment with all the windows open.
Therefore, you should come and see my backyard, too.
This weekend, I am hosting bridge on Sunday, but the apartment is clean enough that people could stop by on Saturday, too, without interrupting a mad rush to scrub the bathroom floor.
Next weekend, May Day, I think I am also free.
Come on – fresh air and green things with all the comforts of cooking and television.
I will be grilling:
eggplant
zucchini
corn
hamburgers
there could even be hot dogs
I also have:
tzatziki sauce
tomatoes
whole wheat pita bread
awesome pickles
There could be:
bread pudding with apples
(if you don’t come, I’ll be forced to keep the meat frozen and eat all the yummy vegetables by myself)
