It was a cold morning at the dog park but will got to test drive his parka.
As I said earlier- squash ravioli with chanterelles/sage/bacon, a dusting of parmesan, and an interesting Austrian red that was somewhere between a Pinot Noir and a Syrah.
What¹s that you say? The ravioli look like gnocchi? Fine, there were some "dough complications"- but the second course of ravioli was really good (no photos).
Actually, this is a picture of Ashley helping me execute a complicated
squash ravioli/chaterelle-sage-bacon dish that I planned for her birthday.
I got in a little over my head (I¹m not a baker and I¹m bad with dough) and
she rescued her own BD dinner. Nice work, Mom. I did the dishes.

Thanks to Grandpa Roy for the shirts.
Ashley, Elliot, Will, Trav, Tucker and Amy in Seattle. Thanks to Booth and
Mako for snapping the shots!
Travis, Amy and Tucker came to visit and we got the cousins together for the
first time. Will is 5.5 months old and weighs about 15 pounds, Tucker is
about 4 months old and weighs about 18 pounds. They had a lot of fun
looking at each other, rolling around and grabbing at each other. We look
forward to many more meetings as the two of them grow up. (more pics to
follow)
Will sports his dashing bear suit for Halloween. More cuddly than spooky.
Reviewing many cookbooks for several hours to find just the right recipe. Part of the process. Decided on a Braised Lamb Shank recipe from Saveur's 3/2001 article about Sam Hayward and his great Portland, ME restaurant Fore Street. Its a cold weather dish with lamb, rosemary, savory, leeks, garlic, hard cider, stock, and involving some funky veggies like turnips, Jerusalem artichokes, and celery root. This should keep me busy today.
Will is usually scared for a few seconds as he's lowered into the tub, but he's a brave guy and warms up to the bath pretty quickly. After the bath, he gets dried off in his soft hooded towel and changed into his "snugglesaurus" before story time with Mom.
