1. Blood orange salad. Do it. (I made a much simpler version and was still eminently satisfied)
2. I’ve been on a vegetarian burrito kick, if two burritos in one week can be called a kick (debatable). The one from Viva! was good, but the one from Alto Cinco had chile rellenos in it (and came with cornbread). So.
3. Food goals: be more open to both whiskey and innovative uses for quinoa (straddling Simon Doonan’s food categories?). Not sure where to start with whiskey, but this recipe seems like a good place to start for quinoa (h/t H-J).
4. What’s the best filling for wontons? I’m making a pilgrimage home next weekend for the annual burning of the solstice tree and associated social gathering (who doesn’t enjoy watching flames shoot skyward?) and I hear there will be the opportunity for deep-frying. Flaming trees, wish lanterns, food, and The Mayor of Bad News–sounds like a good deal to me.
5. Supposedly it’s 9°F outside. This makes the extra blanket I wore, just so I could eat ice cream while reading on the couch, totally legitimate. Not even a question.
