January 5, 2019 Lunch – PPI chicken and Dumpling soup and Egg Salad Dinner - New Recipe Penne Pasta tossed with Sautéed Scallops, onion, garlic, tomato paste, and Serrano ham served on chopped arugula We improved upon the dish i ordered at Hotel Paisano in Marfa two nights ago tonight for dinner. That dish tossed bacon in a tomato Alfredo sauce. Tonight we improved upon that by sautéing sea scallops with diced onion, minced garlic, 2 T. of tomato paste, and a handful of sautéed to crisp Serrano ham plus heavy cream and white wine to create a white wine cream sauce and then tossing cooked Penne pasta in the cream sauce and serving it over chopped fresh baby arugula. For brunch I ate the last bowl of PPI chicken soup I made last night plus a toasted piece of focaccia smothered under a pile of chicken salad. I drank some of Suzette’s xx Equis for lunch. For dinner we drank a bottle of Kudos Pinot Gris from Oregon. The wine lacked fruitiness. I will not buy it again unless I want an incredibly dry white wine. We cleared the leaves from the pond over and re – installed it. Suzette attended the grand re-opening of her favorite Goodwill store on San Mateo and 8 rode my bike the four mile circuit of the short loop. We cooked dinner and watched the Golden Globes and PBS’ Little Women production by Masterpiece Theater. After dinner I ate a few pecans and two chocolate covered cherries and ate an orange with a cup of green tea. At 9:15 we made the bed and crawled into bed. Bon Appetit
