I have nothing to say about last night's episode because I didn't watch it. Instead, we had our friend John from Richmond over for dinner. There's a big academic conference going on this weekend, so the city is crawling with people we know from various institutions of higher learning. Tonight we're having our friend John from Madison over for dinner, and Tom's meeting someone he knows from his time at Winterthur for a drink tomorrow. It's a social whirlwind around here!
We haven't had anyone besides our parents over for dinner since we moved here, so I splurged and served rack of lamb. It was totally deelish and surprisingly easy to prepare, even thought I'd never made it before (yes, I love trying out untested recipes on guests). Since I was a vegetarian for so long I still feel like an amateur when it comes to cooking up animals. In my zeal to avoid overcooking the meat I tend to really undercook it, but there are worse things you can do to a dish. Anyway, cooking vegetarian meals that look and taste fancy takes a lot of effort and skill, whereas a good-quality cut of meat does most of the work for you. But for tonight's dinner I'm headed back to the vegetarian classics to give our arteries have a chance to clear out.
I recorded last night's episode, but I'm not going to watch it. That's what online recaps are for. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
