We had a little bit of France, Ireland, and Italy in our dinner tonight. I know, weird. But who's being picky? It was all very delicious.
Sliced duck confit (more on that later) on a bed of relatively healthy colcannon. Colcannon is usually full of butter and heavy cream, but my version is mostly cabbage and potatoes with a lot of 2% milk so it's healthy but hearty.
It was kind of a carb heavy dinner (have I mentioned I've been starving every day this week? Running 2.5 miles and hiking up s 70 degree incline for another mile today did not help) but we had sandwich rolls spread with a homemade mix of tomato sauce, basil, garlic, olive oil, and a little butter. This was an explosion of flavor that I recommend everyone try before the summer produce is all gone.

You always amaze me when you cook something new I've never heard of. (colcannon)It's just so matter of fact to you. Your repertoire of recipes seems very vast. Never a dull moment at your dinner table. J is a lucky man. What else is lurking in that recipe book of a mind you have? G
Aw, thanks. It just comes naturally when you're always on the prowl for something new to eat. For example, when J and I watch foreign films, we're usually watching to see if someone mentions the name of what they're eating, and when we watch TV shows set in big cities we're listening to see where the characters eat. It's our particular obsession.
