Friday I was very happy to reconnect with an old and dear high school friend, Christine who’s lived in Europe for many years. We had a lovely lunch, looking out over the Bay from the Berkeley hills and catching up. Too wrapped up in the conversation, I forgot to take pictures, but I'll have another chance later this week.
One thing I enjoy while traveling if we have a kitchen, is taking the restaurant left-overs and making something new out of them. Friday, I used the braised lamb shank left over from Wednesday's dinner at Trabocco to make a lamb ragu (with gluten free pasta) accompanied by some yellow patty pan squash.
