Vegetable Medley

Tonight Jake came home from his golf weekend so I made a vegetable medley, throwing together a dish from several boiled red potatoes, some broccoli, a few eggplant cutlets from Trader Joe’s, cauliflower, a strip of red bell pepper, ¼ of diced yellow onion, one clove of garlic, three mushrooms, and a handful of cooked chickpeas. The eggplant seemed to hold it together. I mixed it up in a pan with a couple T of olive oil and a 1/4 c of cheddar cheese. Jake put ketchup on everything, of course.

I could barely eat because I was still so stuffed from a cooking class earlier today I attended at Kitchen Conservatory – we rolled and cut our own pasta! Gorgeous ravioli and fettuccine from scratch. A glass of wine in the afternoon. Grilled salad! Such fun. I also went online afterward and ordered a few things I’ve been lusting after for a while: a pasta maker, a rolling pin, a colander (since I had set mine on fire), a pizza cutter, and a garlic press.
