I was so proud of last night's dinner in the end! Out of nowhere I recalled a delicious simple potato-egg meal prepared by a Spanish friend from the past. I found some recipes online for The Spanish Tortilla (this, this, and this), combined ideas (I went with NOT putting the whole skillet in the oven), and got together a delightful vegetarian main dish made only from potatoes, onion, eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. I even managed the "flip"! Combined with a salad enhanced by fresh seasonal tomatoes and cucumbers from our favorite new neighbor's garden and a glass of wine we were all happy and satisfied. Tonight, we're just going to finish off the tortilla, repeat the salad, and maybe add some Italian sausage on the side, since it's left over from the last pizza.

i'm so excited that you started a blog..was reading through my blog the other day and i realized it was like a photo album/journal..mediocre bits and all..so yeay, i always thought you'd make a great blog-friend too!
ReplyDeletebtw the tortilla, speaking from the perspective of one who's been in close encounters with spanish tortillas, looks pretty authentic..and "chapeau" if you managed the flip with no catastrophe (god knows my kitchen was a warzone of eggs and potatoes many a time!)
bisous!
