Dinner last night:
1) Beet salad with snow pea shoots and warm goat cheese.
2) Poached quail eggs with deep-fried garlic (which is first poached in milk to make it sweet)
3) Poaches sausage with steamed new potatoes
4) Sauteed sea bass on a bed of mashed potatoes and celery root (for which I used the leftover milk from the garlic)
And for dessert there was a sorry attempt at an apple "brown betty" (bread chunks toasted and tossed with sugar and spices then layered with sliced apples and baked)
It had been a while since I made something very fancy and it felt good...
