Weekend Dinners



Saturday: Dinner and drinks (do we have enough liquor?!) at Matt & Gayle's. I offered Rocco a taste of my Chameleon - Blue Curacao liqueur, orange juice, 7 Up - but he was not interested. Dan made curried lentil burritos with a garlic cilantro yogurt topping, cooking for a record non-holiday dinner crowd; Matt, Gayle, Dan and I, Pat, Janine, Sarah, Emma, Hannah, and Abbie. I think Garret had something safe and bland. This recipe is one of our favorites, passed on from Hattie and Linda. It usually requires a special ceremony when it is passed on, and the recipe should only be shared in this context. If you would like to learn more, I might email you the stipulations. ;-)




Friday: Dinner at home while watching Martian Child...Not bad, go ahead and rent it. This dinner was quick and filling - just veggies and eggs!


Linguine with Chard & Egg

1. Cook linguine al dente; set aside.

2. In a large skillet, saute 2 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil with some red pepper flakes for 1 minute.

3. Add the chard and saute until wilted; remove from heat.

4. Add pasta and toss with salt, pepper, handful of grated Parmesan.

5. Divide pasta among bowls and poach or fry 1 or 2 eggs per serving.

6. Top each bowl with an egg and some hot sauce if desired.
