I'm getting ready for Easter Sunday. I have one day to shop and do any prep for my Sunday dinner. I am slightly conflicted because I would like to spend the day in my garden but I realize I cannot do both. I have to decide on what will give me more satisfaction before returning to work next week. My oldest daughter is driving down from the San Francisco Bay area a brief weekend stay. I may have friends over for Easter dinner. Regardless, I plan on making a lot of food. I like to cook or rather create food that gives others pleasure. When I see people eat what I have made and enjoy it, it makes me feel good. I'd like to be able to create art that makes people feel this way, but food is more universal and more pragmatic. You have to eat, right?
Tomorrow I'm going to the farmer's market. I'd love to be able to go in my own back yard and pick what I am going to cook but I hardly have more than seedinglings and a few herbs right now. I plan on buying fennel, green garlic and baby maui onions. This will make a great side dish when combined with cheese. I haven't decided if I'm going to make a ham or pork loin or maybe a pork crown roast. I do plan on making another batch of home made pasta but I'm not sure if I'm going to do a cream sauce or something else. Remember, I'm not doing calorie restriction for Easter. I showed a small loss on the scale this morning so maybe I'm feeling a little cocky.
Both of my children are out in the world tonight. I'll stay up until I know they are safe. I hope tomorrow's blog space I can spend telling you about what choices I made at the Farmer's market.
