Year-End Photo Log

Posted on January 3, 2024 by dgourmac

The last two weeks of the year did not produce any major stories to add to this blog. There were a few photos of highlights that I captured and wanted to share with you, so they are collected below.

Peasant Bread from Alexandra’s Kitchen, but first time in a loaf pan
My favorite Greek baked vegetable dish
Our very first garden (1972) produced this harvest. Just found the original film slide in a cabinet.
Last Octopus of 2023
New favorite Cannonau from Sardinia to go with octopus
and a favorite Portuguese red wine for octopus and many other dishes
Antipasti Board as part of a great Christmas dinner at a friend’s home
Belle du Jour Oysters were outstanding, from Sven Fish
Muscadet with the oysters
Found another gem in the old photos box. It seems that I always loved white shoes/sneakers.
Housecleaning swept away jars of dried beans on the windowsill. I cooked some of the beans and had this salad.
Wife made year-end Ratatouille. I made Bruschetta with it, adding pickled onions and capers.
…accompanied by a delicious Dolcetto d’Alba.
Dec. 31 dinner featuring Bok Choy, Fennel, Mushrooms, Onions, and Sesame Seeds

Happy New Year!
