Uncertainty...

This is the first time in my life that I have had no idea what I will be doing next week, in a month, two months....and although it's liberating it's getting me nervous.  What if nothing works out?  There are zillions of people out there who love to cook, honestly, what makes me any different.

Even if nothing works out I will always be the #1 cook for the family.  Last night we hosted a celebration for my parents' 30th wedding anniversary.  My favourite part is planning the menu so here it is:

Appetizer

Tuscan Antipasto: Bresaola, Proscuitto, various Pecorino cheeses, olives, bread

 Cristal Champagne, 1993

Primi Piatti

Spaghetti, pancetta, garlic, tomato, basil, Grano Padano

Chianti Castello Poppiano, 2004

Secondo

Braised veal, white wine, capers, onions, pimentos, sage

Red potatoes, rosemary, black pepper

Zuchinni, basil

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, 2000

Dolci

Peach clafouti crostata/shortbread crust

Vanilla bean ice cream

Limoncello

It was great, I never use a recipe so it wouldn't be fair to post one up, have you try it and then complain...maybe I should try writing stuff down...what a concept.
