Apple Picking and Fall Cooking
Oct. 7th, 2014 12:34 amOn Saturday, Julie and I went apple-picking with Xavid, Sarah, and Leslie. Then we went home, visited the newly-renovated Savenor's (open again as of a few weeks ago, but just then celebrating their reopening), and cooked up a storm: Delicata squash with apples and bacon, pumpkin stuffed with kasha and venison, roast pumpkin seeds with espresso salt, and homemade applesauce.
Savenor's has redone their Cambridge location to really focus on what they do best. They've ditched the produce section (which had a hard time setting itself above and beyond Whole Foods and local farmers markets) and shrunk the selection of packaged specialty foods to something much more curated and interesting. Their display of meats now stretches across the store, they have a display cooler for dry-aged steaks, and their selection of cheese has improved, too (or at least is shown off more effectively). Wolf Meadow Farm was sampling their cheese at the grand reopening, and it was just incredible.
Today, we made cabbage pie (like spinach pie, vegetable with egg and feta in layered filo). Turned out delicious!
At work this week, I'm preparing a presentation for a training session that will be held next week. I'm looking forward to helping new colleagues with a feature of my project I know a lot about, but it's a lot of material to prepare in very little time.
