a simple pair


A lemon and garlic sitting on my book shelf. I've been musing about what recipe I could use these two ingredients. Pasta, chicken, salad, or bread are the things I've thought. If I crush the garlic and add it to extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and toss in warm pasta. Or I could crush the garlic and rub on chicken (either in pieces or a whole chicken), and then squeeze the lemon juice on top, and/or cut in half and put into the chicken cavity. I could make a garlicky lemon vinaigrette dressing, and finally make a lemon garlic infused oil to drizzle over toasted french bread.



I ordered Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, it should arrive on the 15th. I'm already dreaming of opening the pages and exploring the wonderful world of cooking. So, the one thing this blog is not going to be, is me going through a Julia Child cook book that has been done before. I'm hoping just to explore recipes and share.
