With a little help from my daughter-in-law, Katie, we were able to put two very special dishes on the table tonight: Roasted Tomato Salad pg 50 and Spinach Pie pg 143. Both dishes looked as good as they tasted. Everyone was delighted with the meal. The roasted tomatoes on the platter looked especially grand and would be great to serve to company.
I added a little lemon juice to the spinach mixture for the spinach pie which seemed to give it that little extra spark. Sam's dad was Lebanese and always added lemon to his spinach pies which were delicious.
I bought the Phyllo dough at Whole Foods. It was paper thin and as I was accidentally, tearing the third piece, Katie suggested that I hold the baby and she would love to do the layers of phyllo. Great idea! So thanks to her patient and tender hands we had a masterpiece for our main course.
With the leftover phyllo dough Katie made fruit roll ups using strawberries and black raspberries and maple syrup for filling. Then she baked them till lightly brown. They made a delicious dessert.
Tomorrow, I am making one of Bill's soups, Creamy Wild Rice Asparagus Soup....sounds good......
