sue_n_juliaHB Juliana! HB!
We were supposed to go to dinner tonight, but Juliana was getting a lot of good work done, so I cooked instead. Salad, salmon with a shiraz-cream reduction, and steamed broccoli on a portabella bed. Oh yeah!
I chopped up some onion and the stems of the two portabella mushrooms, added some rosemary and browned them in some butter. Then I added about a glass of shiraz and a little salt and reduced it 75%-ish. I poured the mixture into a tall mug and added cream as I blended it with a hand blender. Once the blending was almost done, I foamed it (tilted the hand-blender such that it aerated as it blended). And it went really well with the salmon. It will go extremely well with beef or pork too.
Sorry if folks are getting tired of the food talk, but this is a good way for me to record recipes I'm developing. Soon I need to put them in my cookbook.

Date: 2007-09-20 05:56 am (UTC)Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying ev'rywhere
On your Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Cities burning in your wake
Like the candles on your cake
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
This one lesson you must learn:
FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn!
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Mortal vermin cringe in fear
Thank God it's only once a year
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
When you've reached this age, you know
That the mind is... (er, I forget how this verse ends... gimme a minute, it'll come to me, I'm sure...)
