This past Saturday was the first farmer's market of the season in Union Square. I didn't remember that is was open until later in the morning. By the time I got there it was really picked over. But, there were a few stalks of rhubarb left, so I snatched them up. My plan was to find a new recipe and bake something with it.
While looking for recipes, I realized that if I was going to make a good dessert, I should also make a good dinner. One thing led to another and before I knew it I had planned a dinner party. Despite the hot hot hot temperatures and our air-conditionless apartment, I spent the afternoon cooking.
I even roasted peppers on the stove.
Dinner took care of my new year's resolution for the month of June. The new recipes I made included a
Rhubarb Meringue Pie,
Shells with Ricotta, Basil and Lemon, a Maple Mustard Salad Dressing from Moosewood Restaurant cookbook.
We shared our dinner with Arturo and Sam. It was worth the effort!
That dinner sounds delicious! And yummy rhubarb pie for dessert! I'm so impressed that you have turned into such a fabulous cook. It is such fun to prepare a wonderful meal and then sit down to enjoy it with friends. One of the great joys in life! Love you, Mom
