This week's new recipe comes courtesy of my friend Herman. Herman and I became friends in college, and he is truly one of the nicest, most thoughtful people I know. Even so, I was so touched when I got an e-mail from him a few weeks ago, mentioning that he had heard about my resolution and wanted to share some recipes that he and his wife had tried successfully for their family. There were several that looked really good, and all of them were either already Bryan-safe, or could easily be modified. He also recommended Food and Wine magazine and their website as good resources for new recipes- and after browsing, I am completely sold.
Recipe- Orecchiette with Bacon and Broccoli Rabe
Modifications- Used broccoli instead of broccoli rabe
Reactions- Dad and I both liked it a lot. Bryan tasted it, but said it was "a little bit too different." Claudia looked at it and decided she didn't want to try it. When she finally tried it, she spit it out right away. I think is trying to recover her "Pickiest Girl In The World" title.
Notes- As usual, it is impossible to please everyone. I'll definitely file this one away for future use- maybe if the kids keep seeing it, it won't be "a little bit too different" anymore. Thank you again Herman for your great ideas!
