Week of October 5th

Saturday:

• We are headed to the Four Seasons for a celebratory birthday dinner with friends.

——————————————-

Sunday:

• Grilled lamb & fig skewers with peppery mint-apricot glaze
• Grilled eggplant slices
• Horta (this is so much fun to say! Try it. Horta, horta, horta.) Get yourself a huge bunch of fresh greens such as swiss chard or kale. Blanch quickly in boiling water, drain and serve with good olive oil, sea-salt and lemon juice. This is deceptively delicious.

Monday:

• Fresh ahi tuna from the farmer’s market. I plan to drown this in Livornese sauce with a splash or two of my new, award-winning olive oil from Portugal. I could drink this stuff!
• The last of the farmer’s market freshly grilled corn on the cob
• Green salad with apple, walnuts and fennel

——————————————-

Tuesday:

• Leftover lamb & fig skewers
• Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados and chunks of feta. I love this simply dressed with red wine vinegar, olive oil and handfuls of fresh oregano

——————————————-

Wednesday:

• Lobster night! My husband is picking up 2 live, honking lobsters from Frank’s Seafood Market. I will keep it simple — just steam them and serve with clarified butter and lemon. Heaven.
• Arugula salad with grapes, lemon & olive oil
• Fresh grilled corn

——————————————-

Thursday:

• Poached eggs over roasted mushrooms with fresh herbs
• Green salad with toasted pecans, fresh tarragon and blue cheese

Friday:

• Date Night!
