Boxx Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I came in LATE from work, missed the prep that Chris had started, but here, I was able to capture the already started garlic-onion-rosemary saute heating in the 12" pan..How can you go wrong with garlic/onion/and rosemary together???

GWSmith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Here, a photo of the Carrot Tzimmes..............a nice, somewhat 'winter' dish... Sweet potato, carrots, figs, apricots and prunes with a sweet glaze of honey and juice of oranges ! This is placed in a Corning glass dish and INTO the microwave for a quick warmup...

GWSmith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 A nice closeup photo. This FiestaWare in the dark cobalt blue really adds contrast to the colors of these ingredients of the dish, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Here is a lovely Syrah from Portugal, thanks to our wine club...............this vino is SO good, that I took a last glass of it with me to the studio here, and am enjoying it as I post these dinner photos [Y] I hope you enjoyed this 'pre fab' dinner I put together from Whole Foods. Sunday evening will bring another PASTA dish.............we have been trying to capture the tastes/flavours of a mushroom sauce that our local Italian haunt (Joe's Spagetti House) has been serving for years. Lets see if I can come close! [] Until Sunday night...............all for now ...........Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thank YOU StewMan, thanks for stopping by, AND, the VINO is wonderful !! Your family can be proud my man! [] , and Rick, I didn't even think about the reference to your town... But, glad I did [] We have PLENTY of it.... The late partner for the company I work for gave me HIS set of Corning Ware, and then my boss and president of the business gave me a very nice set of Corning as a house warming gift when I moved into my first apartment back in 1995..................THEN, when Chris and I bought this house, he brought his clear glass set, one of which you you see in the photo. So, there is PLENTY in the cabinets for our use [Y] I was thinking of starting to put up photos of the collections of kitchen tools etc. here for all to see. From the French nesting PREP bowls, to the knife collection. Stay tuned [] ..........Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The risotto looked great, reminded me it's almost time to order some of this years Morel harvest!***********Gary, I was looking at the Lamson knife website, looks like good stuff but I can't buy a knife I have never seen. I'll have to post a pic of the spalted maple drawer mounted knife block I made. We really like our forschners, and cutco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Meanwhile, I put together a nice little nosh to get us started..........mixed olives of ALL kinds, along with a fine cheese and rosemary cracker..Gary, Do you generally purchase your olives at "Whole Foods" or do you go to another speciality (gourmet) store? I personally enjoy a mixture of various olives when dinning. Your selection looks delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
