It was sprinkling on the way to work Friday. It was sprinkling at lunchtime. It was sprinkling when I had to run over to Building 6 to drop something off at 2:30 PM. It was sprinkling on the way home. It was a wet day...
I did pick up a few supplies I need for working over the weekend at lunch. I dropped them off at home and had the last of the leftover bean soup (well, the last that didn't get frozen).
Back home after work, I was completely not motivated to start any work. I tried calling Melissa back, but just got her voicemail. I warmed up the last of the catfish and wild rice for dinner. The wild rice was just about gone, so I steamed a 1/2 cup of frozen peas to make the plate look full. Served with butter and a little salt, they were great.
I watched TV until I got bored, so I switched to reading. I finished my first new book on the couch. I switched to my bed and the second book until I started dozing off, then I switched off the light and went to sleep.
What are the two books?
ReplyDelete"Ma Gastronomie" by Fernand Point. Point is the legendary founder of La Pyramide restaurant in France. Originally published in 1969, this version is translated. I found it fascinating as it is a mix of his philosophy of cooking and the recipes do not call out amounts of the ingredients (I guess you should just "know" the proportions, lol).
ReplyDeleteThe other book is "On the Line' by Eric Ripert, which is a detailed inside look at the working of the famous restaurant Le Bernardin in New York and some if its signature recipes.
