This evening we had two simple and very tasty dishes. From
Epicurious.com, we had
Penne with Broccoli and Mushrooms. This is a simple and very tasty, satisfying dish. It was easy to taste each ingredient. We also had a simple salad in three parts: diced avocado dressed with salt and hot smoked paprika, yellow cherry tomatoes with salt and pepper, and diced red bell peppers with Old Bay Seasoning. We just made this one up, and the seasonings really matched each vegetable.
The wine is from
the Vineyard, one of our favorite local wine shops. Their Vineyard Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon is bottled by Castoro Cellars. It is not one of those huge cabs--it was a nice counterpoint to the creamy vegetables and pasta we had--nice oak and plum flavors and aromas, smooth tannins in the finish.
This evening, we had Paneer Curry with Peas, from Epicurious .com, and a Bell Pepper Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette and Caraway Seeds that I made up. Our friend Bill Kunze joined us, here on a business trip from the Philadelphia area. 
Carl went all out today--three new recipes, all from Epicurious.com. We had Triple Pepper T-Bone Steak, accompanied by Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Red and Yellow Pipérade, and Brussel Sprouts with Marjoram and Pine Nuts. Am I allowed to say OMG? These were delicious!
