first three recipes

Sauce Vinaigrette
Pommes de terre a l'huile
Salad Nicoise

our dear friend John is coming for dinner tonight - being August it is rather hot today (you'll see Minnesota is the land of extremes) and I'm making a salad. I watched Julia create a salad Nicoise on a DVD the other day, and it put the idea into my head

French bread from Trade Joes, and a white wine, and voila! Tom will pick the wine when he gets home from work (no longer works evenings and weekends happy to say). Our relationship is simple - I cook - he picks the wine - both essential tasks to the business of life.

oh - I need to mention I garden - I really garden - a lot - all the time really. I'm very lucky Tom has not given me the push b/c I spend more time and money on my garden than any human being should. Still, tonight, I'm picking the first of my tomatoes and the last of some green beans. Such joy.
