Homesick

It has been a rough week.  The weather has turned EXTREMELY cold, my body is using all its energy to fight off the flu and on top of it all, I have started to experience the first pangs of being homesick.   Maybe it's the change in weather and the dark sky that is making me miss the comforts of home...

I have turned to food as a comfort and I have to say it is doing the trick!  This week we have warmed our souls with squash and apple soup mixed with garlic and ginger and served with a side of grilled cheese sandwich; mixed mushroom (you should see the variety of mushrooms in season right now!) green onion and Beemster cheese ( I almost squealed when i saw thing cheese) omelets with grilled tomato; and braised pork belly topped with demi served beside kabuka squash and seared scallops.  Most of this was washed down with some red wine- hee hee. All created on only a 2 burner stove and no oven.  Not bad eh?  Oh the joys of marrying a chef.   With meals like thing, I am certain I could travel anywhere in the world and be ok.  Suddenly the homesickness has faded away...well until I am hungry again ;)
