It's crazy busy here, with not so much time to breathe, but also, it's nice. Life is very full. It'll be good when it's a little less full again, but it feels heady and rich right now, like the humid spring air. :-)
I woke up at 4, from a dream that Kevin had died. Very disturbing. But he woke up enough to assure me that he was not dead, and then I felt better, and then I was awake, so Ellie and I went for a walk up and down the block, and then I came back and started planning brunch for Sunday. It's a little complicated, because it's Passover, and several of my guests loosely observe, so I want to be sure there are plenty of options for them. I'm making one quiche, but aside from that, I think the rest is okay?
- strawberry-spinach salad
- tomato-mozzarella-basil salad
- Thai mango-chicken curry wontons
- spicy (kosher) turkey sausage
- broccoli-cheddar quiche
- sauteed mushrooms
- creamy scrambled eggs
- salmon curry
- potato curry
- saffron-rose rice
- mango passion mimosas
I'm serving both dairy and meat, but I figure they can choose which they want, if they observe that part. Is dairy + eggs also bad?
Sounds like a feast.
Can you share your recipes for the wontons and quiche?
OK, your dream sounds dreadful, but I was laughing aloud at this: “But he woke up enough to assure me that he was not dead”
Great comedic timing!
Also, from sharing a kosher kitchen years ago, i know eggs+ dairy is alright. Eggs are “non vegetarian” in my Indian upbringing so it was a bit if a surprise.
Avril, it’s this mango-shrimp recipe — I just substitute chicken for shrimp. I usually use more curry paste and mango chutney than the recipe calls for. The quiche is straight out of the Fannie Farmer cookbook — I think it’s a pretty standard quiche recipe, nothing exciting.
