My Shopping List

Tonight, we feast. But I'm taking a different approach to feasting this time. I admit, when I host ten or twelve guests, I cut corners. The $2 bag of carrots from Ralphs instead of the farm fresh bunch with greens attached. Generic tomatoes instead of Muir Glenn. Chinese supermarket meat instead of free range. You get the idea. But today, we're doing things the right way. Here's my list, some dishes should jump right out at you:
  • mussels
  • San Marzano tomatoes
  • fresh pasta
  • mascarpone cheese
  • carrots
  • celery
  • tomatoes
  • Savioardi cookies (I'm purposely being arcane here)
  • tomato paste
  • Parmesan or Pecorino
  • Pork
  • Veal
  • Bison
  • clams
  • new potatoes
  • baby octopus

Plus a motley assortment of things I have in my kitchen. Let the guessing begin!
