Stewed fruit - inspired by the innkeeper/chef at the William Henry Miller Inn. Saturday night I filled the crock pot with peaches, plums, pears, cinnamon, nutmeg, a good dose of ginger brandy and a splash of oj. Set on low overnight and viola - stewed fruit! Yum! Also good with cherries, apples, or dried cranberries.
For lunch, a Jamie Oliver pasta recipe. Saute leeks and peppers in a EVOO or butter, add cooked pasta, smoked salmon, and a container of marscapone cheese. More Yum! Serve with salad and a crusty bread and you have a meal sure to impress. I learned about this one from Bronwyn and it was actually as easy as it sounds.
We were too stuffed for a full dinner and the bread wasn't going to be good the next day, so I made some bread pudding. Melt butter in a ceramic dish. Layer bread. Perhaps drizzle with some liqueur (I happened to have a near empty bottle of Chambord). Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Cover with a mixture of egg, sugar, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and coconut. Yum! Inspired by Madeline's Restaurant.
I find I'm much more inclined to copy a food dish I've already tasted and know I love compared to something I simply read about or imagine. What does that say about me?

Perhaps, you're just not that adventurous?
Perhaps I'm not, but I eat well. This morning I made banana bread french toast from the bread I made last week. Yesterday we had pumpkin bread french toast- this is something I'd never had before. Maybe I'm adventurous but not creative.
