The Food Itch

This past weekend I finally at home enough to really cook. With the latest issue of Gourmet for some inspiration, I spent the better part of Sunday in the kitchen (now I understand why cooks wear special shoes and stand on cushy mats, sheesh). Here's what was on the menu:

Sauteed sugar snap peas (from the farmers' market)

Corn and Tomato Scramble

Marinated Flank Steak-a blend of mustard, Worstershire, Hoisin, soy sauces, lime juice, garlic and ginger

Crusty pain de compagne (from Petit Outre in Missoula)

Honey Caramel Peach Pie (I pulled off the all-butter crust! a moment of personal culinary triumph)

So I scratched that itch to cook real real food. I think I'm done until I decide it's time to christen the Kitchenaid and make our own pasta. Rosemary fettucine anyone?
