My Husband Has Gone Mad (and I’m oh so thankful)

The menu at my house this week…

Friday: Homemade pizza with three salads (arugula, tomato and mozzarella) and squashed raspberries with vanilla mascarpone cream

Saturday: Wonky summer pasta with herb-y salad and pear drop tartlets

Sunday: Ratatouille (squash, eggplant, green pepper, onion, shallots, tomato…)

Monday: Cacio e Pepe with thyme and lemon roasted carrots

Tuesday: Slow baked salmon with lemon and thyme and ginger garlic corn

Wednesday: Pumpkin shrimp curry with crispy potatoes roasted with sage and clementine

Thursday: Shrimp fried rice with pecan, bourbon, and butterscotch bread pudding

About three months ago my husband fell into a cooking mania from which he cannot extricate himself. The food he makes is consistently complicated, complex, beautiful, and interesting. 

I cook because I love my family and want to meet their needs. I cook quickly, with a few simple ingredients. My food—spaghetti, grilled chicken salad—is blue jeans and a hoodie. When Justin cooks, sometimes for hours, the kitchen comes alive with sounds and smells. What he puts on a plate is a perfectly tailored, classic, delicate, black dress (sometimes served with a great pair of red stilettos).

Yum.
