While in the UK I did my level best to eat what American tourists think of as traditional English fare such as scotch eggs, full English breakfast, sausage roll, curry, etc. Upon returning home, I was keen to cook.
The first thing I prepared were meatballs to go along with fresh linguini from RP's Pasta and jarred sauce.
The spicy meat-a-balls turned out fairly well despite needing more salt and more fennel, to my taste. Still, I enjoyed them as I hadn't had pasta and meatballs in ages. The linguini was gluten-free and I bought it because Woodman's East doesn't have any of their wheat pasta on offer. Odd. This GF stuff is fine but I find the glutenous variety to have a bit more flavor. I guess the wheat has a more prominent taste than rice flour...?
This past weekend I found myself in Cottage Grove and said, "Why don't I stop at Stoddard's and get a smoked chicken breast?" And so I did. It became chicken salad with apple.
Simple but very tasty.
