So, haven't been cooking much. I've been dining out a whole lot lately. Went to Vancouver and Whistler recently, and, despite a major spill on the hill, I'm so glad I did.
Last week, I hit three happy hours. I guess I was feeling a little burned out in my own kitchen.
When I run out of gas, it's usually about meal planning. I am happy to respond to requests, and most nights, I know what I'm going to make. But then, there are those lazy days when I don't want to go to the store. I punt.
Yesterday, I had no clue what I was going to make for dinner. But I was at the Pike Place Market and a stroll through DeLaurenti and -- boom! -- dinner was a done deal: Butternut squash ravioli, on top of a bed of lightly dressed arugula, topped with shaved Parm, chopped hazelnuts, sauteed Delicata squash and fried sage. Dang! So good!!

Leslie - ALL of your dinner diary sounds (and looks) spectacular! I, for one, am glad you're posting these because it's giving me ideas for dinners too. I'm sure we all get burned out trying to think of things to cook day in and day out.
Your dinner's look fabulous. Haven't been to Whistler since pre-olympics but really want to go. I love it up there.
Made shrimp escabeche yesterday despite the still cool weather here. Maybe is was wishful dining. If I eat warm weather food...
