Spicy Mostarda

Week Four, Friday

Somehow, I got home from work at 5:15 and didn't eat dinner until 7:45. I don't know where all the time went. I wasn't just cooking the whole time, I was getting ready for a weekend trip and doing some laundry, but still...

I made a salad using the Fair Shares mixed greens lettuce, mint, and olive oil. (I've decided to stop taking pictures of the mostly same salads over and over again.) I made this first and ate it before I started cooking the main course.

Dinner was a mushroom spinach omelet with sauteed potatoes and onions. Also toast. We got a dried fruit condiment called mostarda from Fair Shares this week. I was going to try it on my toast. I saw that the last ingredient was chili flakes. I don't like spicy food, so I asked Roy to taste-test it for me. He said it was sweet. And spicy, too spicy for me.


If any of my Yesfan friends are reading this, these three mushrooms remind me of a Roger Dean stage set. Alan could be playing the drums under this, like the crab nebula.

My eggs are so inconsistent. I've been making them regularly for dinner since we started getting eggs from Fair Shares. I still can't flip them over well. This night, Roy's turned out fine. I cleaned out the frying pan, but my eggs stuck to it and made a mess. It all tasted alright, but it's frustrating. I don't know what I did differently. Here's a picture of Roy's eggs.


Dinner used eggs, spinach and mushrooms from Fair Shares. I also had a bagel for breakfast, and Roy ate some strawberries as a snack.
