I'm a lucky gal. Tonight, J cooked dinner! That almost always means seafood, and today his culinary talents resulted in a heaping bowl of cioppino for each of us, topped with chopped garlic and herbs from our tiny windowsill garden.
I wish I had an exact recipe, but J ad libs as much as I do and isn't good about remembering. I know he started with
this recipe and tweaked it to his liking. We actually did this as practice for next week, when we're going all out and making a cioppino that will include over a dozen kinds of seafood in it. Tonight's dry run went extremely well and included homemade fish stock, shrimp, monkfish, octopi, squid, and cod.
A quick look at aforementioned garden. The oregano is doing well, and definitely added an Italian flavor to the tomato base.
And the lemon thyme is practically running rampant. I know I shouldn't let my herbs flower too much, but the tiny purple flowers are so pretty I let a few branches grow.

You call that a dry run? I'd call it full out. My mouth is getting watery, so jealous.
