Ina In A Year: Week 51

September 18, 2019 · In: Chronicles, Ina

WHAT HAPPENED

This was the last β€œreal” week of the project in regards to the cooking. I hosted the final Ina Lunch at Hurley House, and in a moment of sentimental nostalgia, as I looked around the store and saw every chair filled, I took a panoramic video. It was a weak attempt to capture the energy and electricity filling the space.

That same morning I found myself sad as I picked out flowers for the final table setting, realizing it was the last one. But then I consoled myself with the reality that the weekly opportunity to cook lunch for eight people would continue with the Lunch Party. This thought brought me great comfort and served as a confirmation that my decision to keep these going was a good one, if for no other reason than to keep my heart engaged in something I love.

Roasted Baby Pumpkins, Barefoot Contessa

WHAT I LEARNED

CAULIFLOWER TOASTS.
YES! My children really enjoyed these, and I found them insanely satisfying and a snap to prepare. They are a meal if you eat two. I also think the filling could have topped twice as much bread as the recipe calls for.

ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON TARRAGON AOILI.
Worth it! These are beautiful, easy, and interesting. I loved being able to make these a day ahead and serving them chilled. Artichokes are about the communal experience, and less about the sustenance of the vegetable. These are fun, and the opportunity to encourage people to dive in and use their hands was well-received.

SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS.
This is the easiest salmon in the whole world, requiring little time, prep, or even ingredients. The resulting salmon was juicy and full of bright notes from the herbs. It serves as a perfect backdrop for whatever you choose to put with it. I highly recommend adding this to your regular dinner rotation!

I took a spring break field trip to Dallas with my friend Nicole, and our sole purpose was to eat lunch at Loro.

Did we order half the menu for only the two of us? We did. 

Was every bite totally worth it? Absolutely.

In an effort to get inspired to add a touch of spring to my home, I did an internet deep-dive to create what I think is a beautiful collection of inspiring images designed to spark my inner home-decor maven.​​​​​​​​

The result is a game-plan for small ways I am planning on fluffing my home for spring without redecorating every room.​​​​​​​​

No, we didn’t travel with the dog. Yes, we did travel halfway with toddlers. Yes, we broke down on the side of the highway and rode in a tow truck. Apart from that drama, it was lots of food, coffee, band, shopping, hanging, filling out Oscar ballots, and watching Lillian master the hoverboard.
