dinner for dee
Rather tired, and functioning (barely) on only a few hours of sleep, having been up with a feverish W for much of last night. This morning I taught a class at the Cookbook Company, for which a camera crew was in attendance (I’ll explain that later) – afterward we did a bunch of taping, and dinner was a potluck in honour of one of Calgary’s best-known food writers, the outspoken and illustrious dee Hobsbawn-Smith, who is packing up in July and moving herself out to a farm in Saskatchewan. It was a goodbye party of sorts.
Tony Marshall from Highwood Crossing made brisket.
Karen brought trout on a bed of arugula, scattered with grape tomatoes.
dee brought lentils. Despite my legume overload of late, I enjoyed them.
There were salads, and scalloped potatoes, and bread. I made marinated asparagus.
And dee made buckle. We globbed great quantities of Vital Green Farms cream on top – at 52%, it’s as close to double or clotted cream as we can get in Alberta. It’s the stuff dreams are made of.
Good luck dee – Calgary will miss you. So long, and thanks for all the food.
