Dinner with Pati & Bruce
http://patid.wordpress.com
This blog is an account of our home-cooked meals for the year 2008 (and now 2009). The way it works is I prepare the main entree’ (I usually don’t follow a recipe–I like to think of recipes as reference and use them to generate ideas) while Bruce usually makes a salad to match. We eat the salad after we eat the main entree’. We always have a bottle of wine with dinner, so we’ve documented it as well. We don’t go by what’s best with white or red, we just drink what we like.
