music and cooking

[aryanhwy]

Today's music & cooking antidote to a long weekend (made longer by the fact that a) Gwen is ill; b) I am ill; c) Joel is ill; d) Gwen was home from nursery yesterday, so I got TWO Saturdays this weekend [grand]; and e) between being sick, some lingering jetlag, dealing with Gwen being sick, and grief, I haven't gotten to bed before 1:00am (and sometimes much later) for a week or so) was Asia's self-titled album (so what if Christmas is over? I can still listen to Christmas music. What, that album isn't part of YOUR Christmas music repertoire? Hmph. YOU never "decorated all the generals" as part of your traditional Christmas traditions) and starting up some lamb bresaola a la Madbaker:



Two comments so far: 1) damn it smells good. 2) Next time, I should pay more attention to the cut of meat I'm ordering on the internet, and ensure I get one without a bone. Ah well, I eventually got the bone hacked out, and it's now sitting in the freezer awaiting to be turned into something, soup most likely. Thankfully, no one is going to score me on my butchery skills. (Speaking of butchery: I asked one of the butchers in the Marketplace today if they carried beef bung (intestine). They carry pork and lamb, but not beef, and when I asked if they could order it, the answer was "not really", because if they did, they'd have to order the whole thing, and that is A LOT of intestine.)

Sounds lovely, and G looks so charming! I have been able to do my version of this on some of the MANY MANY days that the kids have been home lately, and it really is a good combo. -Bunny

It's such an easy thing (comparatively), and I don't know why I have such a hard time remembering how well it works. That's partly why I write about it here, so that I have an archive of "see, look? Turn on some music and get into the kitchen, and you'll look back on the weekend happy" evidence.
