Wednesday night we will post the menu for that week's meal and Friday evenings we will cook. At the conclusion of our meal (and a few glasses of wine, adults only of course) we will post our comments and photos. We will go into detail on how we fared with the preparation, presentation and taste of our menu.
We must disclose that we are in no way trained professionals or do we consider ourselves foodies, but we know what tastes good and have the basic tools to get the job done. Like any other New York apartment, we have a small but workable kitchen and although our appliances may not be top tier, the maintenance department somehow keeps them in working condition, God bless 'em. I've only made one large purchase (to date) towards this project and although I should have bought another dutch oven or some other cooking utensil, I must sheepishly admit that I purchased a pair of orange Crocs for Mariesa, Angela, Mario and myself. Life is short, que no?
Drum roll please... this weeks menu will start with:
FIRST COURSE
Fettuccine al Limone - Fettuccine with Lemon (pg 206)
SECOND COURSE
Saltimbocca alla Romana con Limone - Roman-Style Veal Cutlets with Sage and Lemon (pg 357)
DOLCI
Crostatra di Limone - Lemon Tart (pg 453)
As you can see, our theme for the menu is lemon. It just sort of worked out that way and we can not guarantee that future pairings will be this creative, but we sure will try.
As always, we would like you to join us in our quest and would be more than happy to email you the recipes for this weeks meal.
