Tonight we had a big family dinner, and I cooked a braise and some mashed potatoes with fennel. I'm not a very good forward-thinker when it comes to cooking, so things like this end up happening when I wash pots too early.
Now, after the precarious tower of meat, I browned the ribs and then started the 3 hours process of the braise.
Here is the progression of the potato dish.
And for the final photos of the meal.
This post is strongly reminiscent of every food-related post my sister makes on her blog. If memory serves, we even have made this meal together and she has a post about it.
I've been spending most of my time in Westport at the beach or at home. It's been raining off and on for the entire time I've been here, but the weather has been overall incredibly great. I swear that New England is the best place on the planet. You can try to prove me wrong; I wish you the best of luck. I ran a few errands in the morning and then went to the beach at around one. About an hour after returning, it started pouring. And by pouring I mean biblical end-of-days pouring, and for the first time ever, I took and outdoor shower in a thunderstorm. It seems like a stupid idea at first, until your towel is soaked, and you need to get back inside. Then it's still a stupid idea.
The rest of today was spent cooking and watching Seinfeld, which I enjoyed to a surprising extent.
The rest of my time here will be spent hanging out with my family, seeing friends, doing errands, and avoiding packing as best I can. So far, I have been achieving the latter goal very successfully. I go to India on Monday (that's in a mere 4 days), at which point I see Scott!
I'll talk to you all soon,
