October 29, 2012 Dinner – Polenta and pork in tomato sauce and grilled pork sausages and sautéed pimiento peppers, cippollini onions and portabella mushrooms.

I ate too much today.  We started around 8:30 with fresh fruit salad (pineapple, papaya, and Crenshaw melon) with Lala Mango yogurt.
Then as 10:00 I ate two men on a boat (a slice of French sourdough bread toasted in a skillet with butter and with an egg on top).

Then at 1:00 p.m. I went to lunch at Taj Mahal with Mike http://www.tajmahalcuisineofindia.com/contactus.html for saag and tandoori chicken and dhal.

After a bike ride at 6:00 p.m. I came home and Suzette was sautéing thawed  pork Italian sausages halved and split down the middle in one pan and whole cippolini onions with shredded pimiento peppers we had purchased at the Farmers’ Market last Saturday and portabella mushrooms (Costco) in another pan.  Then she heated the PPI polenta mixed with cream and pecorino cheese in the microwave and then heated the PPI ground pork with Brussels sprouts and mushroom in tomato sauce.  

After everything was heated and cooked, Suzette plated the sausages, and then beside them the polenta and the tomato pork sauce on top of that and then beside that laid the sautèed cippolini onions, pimientos and mushrooms.  We drank Hafner Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner.

Later in the evening we ate lovely pumpkin parfaits brought to us yesterday by Rosemary and Richard (large plastic cups filled with whipped cream, a pumpkin mousse and granulated crystalized ginger and dark spice cookies).  The parfaits are wonderful and definitely make me want to go to Rose’s Rose’s Café at Mesa del Sol (http://www.rosestablecafe.com/).

Bon Appètit
