June 20, 2016 Lunch – Vinaigrette  Dinner – Shrimp with chard and Mushrooms over Spaghetti

Willy and I went to Vinaigrette for a late lunch.  I ordered my usual, Frisée salad with crisp lardons garnished with a poached egg and dressed with a balsamic vinegar vinaigrette dressing.  Willy ordered a Cuban sandwich with a side of a Cobb salad, which I like at Vinaigrette because is a chopped salad. 

Wily ordered a carrot and turmeric drink.  We enjoyed talking to Joseph Tapia and his wife, who were sitting at the adjoining table.

Neither of us could finish our meal so we took home boxes filled with leftovers.

Suzette brought home some PPI shrimp from Saturday’s feast.  She decided to make a simple meal of sautéed shrimp, chard, and mushrooms in a cream sauce over spaghetti.  I went to the garden and picked a basket of chard and de-stemmed it and cut it into bite sized pieces. Suzette boiled spaghetti and I sliced an onion and three cloves of garlic and Suzette sautéed them in olive oil and butter.  Then she added the shrimp and chard and then heavy cream to make a sauce.  I sliced slices of Pecorino Romano from a fresh wedge we bought at Costco last week and lay the slices on a pile of hot pasta,in a pasta bowl.  The we scooped the shrimp, chard and mushroom mixture onto the pasta and cheese and drank PPI Gruet Brut champagne with it.

 Another wonderful instant meal.

Bon Appetit
