The plan was that Ian and I were going to make a nice meal as entertainment. Ian didn't end up doing much of the cooking and instead assembled furniture!
Our new footrest-ottoman type thingy for only $59 from Ikea. Sooo much better than a kitchen chair as a footrest. We were going to buy a $400 item from EQ3, glad we stopped by ikea first.
Our new lamp. The previous one sorta melted. Hard to explain, but it's true.
Anyway, all recipes came from the William's Sonoma Bride and Groom cookbook that Ian's cousins gave us for, you guessed it, the wedding last year! This book is pretty decent for "fancy" type meals and is definately a step up from everyone's favorite moosewood series.To start I made some potato & leak soup. For the main course, I made some squash risotto, Ian made the salmon with lentils. No, I did not eat the salmon, just risotto and lentil for me. Then some moosewood fudge brownies and chapmans fro yo (as Ian calls it) to top it all off.
We drank a bottle of Rockway Glen Estates Riesling that someone left behind after my make your own sushi party. Check out the website, this winemaker looks disturbingly young, is he old enough to be of legal drinking age?

This sounds like a wonderful meal. Tell me more about the recipe for the squash risotto. Does it need constant stirring?

Keep up the good work. Cooking is what all the cool kids are doing these days. When are you going to give in and just have a regular blog?
Hey Janice, bring in your potato & leek soup recipe. It's one of my fav soups. Thanks, Mz K.
