As the world finished downloading the year of our Lord 2009, I was being uploaded to Sybertspace, Pennsylvania. Since arriving at Holy Dormition Friary, I have enjoyed the responsibility of helping Fr Laurian cook for our community.
This week's menu included a beef roast (perhaps my first ever) and roast chicken. Roasts are now one of my favorite menus--almost everything fits in the roaster and anyone can take it out of the oven at the appropriate time. Already twice I've prepared cauliflower and peas according to an Indian recipe. I've inherited my Dad's love of sales, and I use my economics-gene to watch the produce sales from week to week, so we get the best deal possible. Sometime I should think to take a photo or two, but the first test of a cook should be the flavor and smell, not the sight. If you don't like how it looks, that's okay--more for me!
Fr Laurian is dedicated to making soup a couple times a week. I'm happy to be sous-chef for soups, and I think my recipe books are getting more use now than they got for the past six years while I was only occasionally a cook.
