snow day

I had the good fortune to catch a cold this weekend. Luckily, I had the power to ignore my most miserable symptoms to get some cooking done. We spent most of the morning shoveling snow. Well, when I say "we" I mean Paul shoveled snow and I stood on the sidelines sneezing and offering moral support. I did, however, make him a carafe of dunkin donuts coffee... I'm sure that counts for something. We spent a good portion of our afternoon preparing "Tortiera di Finnochi e Patate", which, in layman's terms means fennel layered potatoes. We then promptly got started on our roasted pork loin with a maple mustard crust. Overall, everything turned out amazing. Our Calphalon roasting pan was clearly worth the investment. I'm planning on spending the rest of the evening wandering around in my pajamas and sipping on tea.
