From the ongoing books I love series. We checked this fantastic book out of the library many times this summer. It is all about a boy named Rusty who goes camping with his family called Rusty’s Red Vacation. The illustrations are magically delicious. I also love that the entire book is printed in only two colors, red and black. The graphics are tight and wonky at the same time – I love that! Wonky is my way!
I have had mommy duty all day, we ran to costco and they had a hug bottle of Pinot on sale for $6.99. Well what’s a girl to do? It was warm so I had to ice it! I know it’s wrong I understand that but a girl needs her elixir of life and some times you just can’t wait for it to chill completely. And who can blame me it was 110 degrees today. It’s hot, one needs ice! No judging me and my cheap wine drinking habits.
With that header I almost don’t even need to write a post. I think a photo and the word yum would suffice. But I would make some changes next time so a bit of writing is in order. I made an Italian Béchamel sauce that I poured over cut up chicken breasts that were laying on a bed of blanched fennel. It was delicious but I felt like I wanted one other herb involved. I love fennel but in this dish it was very mild. Next time I make it I will add in an herb to give it a little bit more pop. This recipe came from my now very own copy of The Silver Spoon. This is a cook book I have wanted for 10 years but it was just always too spendy to justify the purchase. Last week my family found it for me for almost free at an auction. Thanks family!! I am in love with this cook book, the simplicity is just charming, not an extra word in sight. To go along with the chicken dish I made fingerling potatoes covered in chives, red onions and olive oil.
