It’s hard to believe It’s only been 8 days since I closed the doors at the other location,
-I feel like I’ve already been working on the new space for at least a month..
…..and Its coming along nicely,
Today, amidst the parking nightmares of a Seahawks game, hundreds of marriage ceremonies and usual downtown holiday festivities,
I invited a few friends over for a lunch and “painting party”
in other words, I cook lunch and they paint!
——–
-So I pulled another old friend down from the shelf.
I rolled out some pasta the good ol’ fashion way ,
lined a terrine mold, and filled it with ground lamb, pork sausage and beef.
-Layering it with boiled eggs, salami and gouda cheese…
meanwhile, they did all the dirty work…
and made me realize, I dont have the patience it takes for painting…
so I’ll just stick to what I know..
out of the oven came nice package,
just in time for the holidays!
Polpettone! -with some nice greens, potatoes and wine to balance it all out.
..and so begins the warming of the space,
crossing things off the lists,
fixing things, breaking things,
and adding two more items to the list each day….
