Has it really been two months since my last post?  Indeed!  My apologies.  Much travel, discoveries and hard work.  I will resume now with tonght’s dinner and will fill in the rest when I have time.

This is one of my favorite periods — home alone for a few weeks, with fresh produce to play with.  Tonight’s invention was a dish made with whole wheat orzo (very good! from Whole Foods) and a plethora of vegetables.  What made it so good was the freshness and quality of the vegetables.

The wine was a delicious Sangiovese (2012 Ancarini Romagna Sangiovese Oriolo) from Jan D’Amore.  I would also consider a good Gaglioppo from Calabria for this dish.
