Cooking Dreams

In the last week, I've had 3 cooking dreams - all interrupted before I could finish.

1. Roasted Chicken: Easy enough. Roasted a chicken with a lavender thyme lemon butter rubbed under the skin of the breast and the cavity stuffed with shallot, lemon and orange.

2. Black beans: I never got to finish this dream since my alarm went off. But there were a combination of whole and smashed black beans and cilantro. I'm not sure what I was doing with it but I think it was some sort of dip or the beginnings of a burrito.

3. Just now on the train, I had a 10 minute cat-nap, in which I grilled a tuna steak and there was a salsa (that's the word that I called it in the dream) of white beans, tomatoes and something green - scallions? basil? I must think this one through! I'm hungry now.

Sweet Dreams and Bon Appetite!
