Potatoes roasted with a healthy dose of harissa. The potatoes are brave but the diner is braver.

Quinn helps with the Valentine’s Day meal

Quinn was nice enough to prep these potatoes for our Valentine’s Day fondue. Imagine my surprise when he handed me this baking dish and told me: “Listen, I know they boil the potatoes for Raclette in Switzerland, but boiling vegetables is for suckers, so go with me on this one. 450 degrees for about 3o minutes. Check them every 5-10 minutes or so and taste them for doneness near the end. Stir them if they begin to stick, but you shouldn’t have to mess with them more than 2 or 3 times. Oh, and hey, I just pooped, so if you could lend a hand, that would be great.”

Saturday night dinner

Tonight I made a tagine. The main ingredients were potatoes and butternut squash, but the main purpose of cooking this meal was to take some photos with our new camera. That may be the subject of another post.

Saturday brunch

Here is where I show off some of the tomatoes from our garden. We’ve got Blondkopfchen, Green Sausage, Riesentraube, and some standard grape tomatoes in the salad. Scrambled eggs and rosemary-lavender potatoes complete the meal.
