Friday, 10/5
Janice hadn't told me ahead of time, but today is Richard's 60th birthday. So I offered to cook him a special dinner, something I always enjoy doing. It was a pleasure to cook in a REAL kitchen for a change, with a workspace that's bigger than 1 1/2 square feet. On the menu: Shrimp in a pink sauce (a Madhur Jaffrey recipe with cream, cumin, fresh ginger, garlic and some tomato sauce), rice, roasted vegetables (sweet potato spears, halved brussels sprouts and cauliflower) and a salad with curried cashews, pear and dried cranberries. For dessert: Tarte Tatin, an upside down apple tart with caramelized sugar. It was delicious (and I can share recipes, for anyone who's interested).

We had a great time together, even though Janice was gone most of the day at work....she and I had to stay up til midnight talking. So good to be together again (the last time we saw each other was about 13 years ago).
