I'm home. My container is unpacked. My washing is done. Fresh flowering plants are finding their approach behind in to Mason jars, as well as the avalanche of mail is, quite honestly, being ignored. Travel time from our apartment in Testaccio to our front doorway in San Francisco: twenty hours. Twenty. Hours. It hurts to even type that. And not to whine about it as well much, though flights similar to which disaster me up - the lack of sleep, the dehydration, the uncanny food. On the misfortune flights we infrequently get headaches which turn in to nausea. It sucks. we finish up longing extra-wholesome food for days after arriving home. This time, my initial day back, we incited out the super gratifying lunch desirous by two recipes in Melissa Clark's brand new cookbook, In the Kitchen with A Good Appetite.
The initial thing we made was her shredded raw kale salad. Lots of greens tossed in the vibrant, lemony-pecorino dressing. The recipe calls for just the handful of ingredients, though they all deliver - crunchy, toasted breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, good olive oil. Simple, though special. It's the salad we threw together for lunch, though additionally something we can imagine creation for friends or family when they come over. And we can imagine endless ways we competence work it in to the one-dish meal. Make the bit of additional dressing, supplement some farro to the mix, as well as tip with the poached egg, for example. Or, soak up some roasted winter squish to one side the kale. Or, do the more finely chopped version before folding in to the play of seasoned quinoa.
I ate the kale salad to one side Me! lissa's mustard as well as pickle-spiked tofu salad served upon toasted poppy seed wheat bread. At which moment, integrate of things would have tasted better. we think both recipes will become regulars around here.
So, it's good to be home. we have the integrate Rome-centric posts upon the near horizon. One with an extra-special recipe from the very unique place, as well as one compiling the list of my favorite places from this trip with links to some of the sites which helped me plan this trip. Now which I'm not jet-lagged we competence be means to contend them in to something comprehensible...
In the meantime, we can follow Melissa Clark upon twitter, or keep track of her during The New York Times. San Francisco Bay Area folks can additionally locate her during Omnivore Books: 10/15 6-7 p.m.
