Celery Soup with Bacon Croutons from the January 2015 Food and Wine--a definite 5! Elegant and delicious.

Served with Arroz con Pollo a la Chorrera, from The Cuban Table, by Ana Sofía Peláez and Ellen Silverman. This is a very rich, somewhat heavy dish. We give this a 3.

Wine: Dry Creek Dry Chenin Blanc 2012

We had a new breakfast item, Scrambled Eggs with Miso, from the January/February 2015 Cooking Light. Nice, the miso adds a little sweetness and umami, gets a 3.

We also had a new dish for dinner from The Cuban Table, by Ana Sofía Peláez and Ellen Silverman, Bistec de Palomilla. The flavors were nice, but the meat was a bit overlooked--have a bit to learn about pan frying steak. We give it a 3.

Served with leftover Corn Soup with Italian Sausage from the January 28, 2015 Denver Post--still a 4!

Wine: Château de Ségriès Lirac 2010
