I ‘yam what I ‘yam…..

It was a very cold day today. Ten below zero when I woke up. I don’t know where you’re from, but you can’t know cold like this.



Time for Saturday night dinner. It’s been a long week, so I splurged on some beef tenderloin and good wine. I have an indoor grill, so throwing down some love on the grill is pretty easy. Another easy with the steaks is spinach in the Roman style. Heat some good olive oil in a large sauté pan, throw a few cloves of crushed garlic in the oil when it gets hot. Brown up the garlic and remove. Toss in about a quarter cup of raisins, and cook until the raisins plump up. Add a ten ounce bag of pre-washed baby spinach, salt and pepper to season, two tablespoons of pine nuts, and enough water to steam the spinach. Cover to let the spinach cook down. Check and stir occasionally to get even cooking. This should take no longer than 15 minutes.

Oh yeah, I roasted up some Yukon Gold taters with rosemary too.
