Last week was not a successful week for me from a culinary point of view.
My salt rising bread didn't. In the night, L. ate the tofu intended for my caprese as a snack. My pasta was good but not the shape that I intended. The delicata squash velouté I had planned was a disaster. The eggplant dish didn't work. The capsicum-peach chutney that I pictured so clearly and deliciously in my mind was a textural nightmare. I burnt my hand rather badly by stupidly forgetting that a pan had been in a 425 degree oven rather than on top of the stove and grabbed the handle. Nothing tasted or acted how I wanted it to. This doesn't happen often but when it does I commit!
And none the less, here is another week of ambitious menu planning. We'll soon find out what works and what doesn't this time around...
