Bon Appetit!

Our first year of marriage is complete - and it was completely amazing. What an incredible and rich journey the last 12 - really the last 24 months have been. Paul and I (Anna) have been aquainted for 744 days now. Undisputedly the best 744 days of our individual lives. As we've reflected back on the these days, I've been surprised by how the simple things are the most fulfilling things in the context of companionship. Life is good. Cooking together and for one another has been one of the simple joys we've shared. In true geek form, we've documented the culinary adventures along the way...

Our first attempt at an Anderson family fav... grilled pizza.

Wine and cheese. A cornerstone of culinary delight.

The remains of what was once brisket. Ahh... glorious brisket! This is what converted us to the virtues of the simple and perfect weber charcoal grill. We also fell in love with homemade smokey bbq sauce... drooling!

This chicken's destiny included herbs, a can of beer and some flames.

Simple shrimp pesto pasta

A favorite around here... beef lollipops - or something like that.

The winter months introduced deep frying - a naughty but deliciously crunchy habit. Potato wedges were paired with boneless wings and Paul's wonderful version of BWW's caribbean jerk bbq sauce.  

Tomatillos and serrano peppers from the mexican market (great find!) being prepped for homeade salsa verde and eventually Enchiladas Verdes. Delicious!

A personal twist on the wintery chicken pot pie.

P+A

Meatloaf Wellington for the cold dark days

Shrimp Shumai

A delicious effort to cook with steam instead of oil

Sushi Dragon Rolls!

(yes, that may be fried shrimp tempura)

A final shout out to Pauly and the orchid he gave to me this week. It beautified our delicious evening of Asian cuisine.

COME EAT WITH US!
