No News



Sorry we haven't posted in a few days, not much to share I guess. So I will write a boring post and tell you about my first casserole. Since I am going to be a mom soon, I thought I should start making casseroles (I even got the recipe from a parent's magazine!). It is SO good (if you like this sort of thing), full of tofu, spinach, pasta, cheese), I think the baby really liked it, and I know Len did. Other interesting cooking this week, I baked hamantashen for the first time (chocolate filled, not traditional but very yummy). Aside from that, organized the sewing room, got lots of new, amazing music this week (hopefully Len will write a post about it), and sold some dresses to a very nice children's store. Getting a little sick of strangers telling me I look like I'm ready to have my baby any day now, or asking me if I'm sure I'm not having twins. How's your week been?

  • That casserole looks super yummy! If I ever get around to baking and freezing before the baby comes (which is looking less likely as my to do list gets longer) I might give that recipe a shot.

  • I wonder if it would be good without the cheese? did you use frozen spinach? I might be inclined to use the fresh kind, unless it makes a difference to the recipe?

  • I don't know, that 'cuban imperial rice' sounds pretty fancy/complicated.

    And, yes, I think the casserole would not be as good without the cheese, I think it's the melty cheese that makes it (sorry Andrea).
    I don't know what the difference between the frozen spinach or fresh would be (except that you don't have to chop the frozen kind), does anyone know?

  • To substitute fresh for frozen spinach, you just have to blanch it and then drain it well, or it will be too watery.

    That's my cooking tip for the day...
