Home cookin'

There haven't been a lot of homemade meals this last week between the work dinners and the visiting relatives. Here's what has happened.

Saturday night we ate at Millennium, "San Francisco's Premier Vegetarian Restaurant". The food was more amazing than usual. I think it's something about this time of year. Our waitress even comped us a plate of sorbets! (I <3 Millennium.) I can't even describe what was in my entree because it was so complicated and good. I think it was a forbidden black rice cake with Asian veggies in a coconut, lemongrass and cauliflower sauce. Divine!



The huckleberry cheesecake was not all that. The vegan cheesecake at Weird Fish was actually better in a traditional cheesecake kind of way, though this was delicious in a huckleberries are awesome kind of way.



Monday we finally cooked again: stuffed butternut squash with broiled tofu. The squash was stuffed with (and by) a suggestion of Dandelion the Bitter Green. Brown rice and lentils (which we already had cooked), carrots, kale, and walnuts. It was an especially delicious combination with the butternut squash.



Tuesday was my choice of roasted veggies (carrots, leek, parsnip, and sweet potato) with the secret ingredient-- hijiki!( a small skinny seaweed) Served with another rice/lentil/kale combo.



Wednesday night is pasta night, this time with tempeh instead of tofu. I fried the tempeh first with onions then cleaned the pan and fried a whole mess of kale (redbor and dinosaur) with garlic and lemon juice.
