:: a pause for vacation::

Just a little pause for vacation time this week -- back again on Monday with some lovely yummy items!

Tuesday: Rosemary Rutabagas

RRrrrrrutabagas! Oh yum. Just peel as many as you have people to eat them - times two - , then cut them into uniform pieces toss them with coarse salt, freshly ground pepper, olive oil and crushed rosemary.

Put them into an oven proof pan and roast at 400F for about 40 minutes. They are a solid vegetable, so they need their time in the hot hot oven.

I like to serve them with almost everything - but one of my favorite combos would be with the fluffy egg puff. If you have any leftovers, they are wonderful warmed up like homefries in the morning or mashed and then sauteed in a little butter.

Monday: nuts and seeds

Back from a lovely weekend away with lots of down time and eating lovely things at local restaurants in the Williamstown area... so coming home to an empty kitchen left nothing but nibbles on nuts and seeds. Could be worse! Dig in! See you tomorrow.
