Cooking
Inspired in part by the dinner party, the leftover berries that Adam had bought for the fondue, and the loss of my lunchtime haunt, I've been doing quite a bit of cooking this week. It started with a feta cheese pasta salad on Sunday night since I had bought feta cheese from Zabar's the weekend prior. Then I got the idea to bake blueberry muffins and made tuna pasta salad as a possible lunch for work. The blueberry muffins are good but not great in part because I didn't put enough sugar and because I put in too much wheat flour (I like to be healthy when I cook). The tuna pasta salad was a disappointment--I love good tuna pasta salad but I've never been able to make it in a way that resembles the tuna pasta salad I've had at this former restaurant in Williamsburg or at the salad bar at Whole Foods. Motivated by the leftover strawberries, today I made strawberry shortcake which earned positive reviews from Adam. I like cooking (sometimes) but I think I'd be inclined to cook more if we had a dishwashing machine.
