With 4 delicata squash in the kitchen, I found some delicious recipes on the Internet to use them up. One was a roasted squash salad...vegetarian and easy. Another was quinoa stuffed squash, a bit more involved in terms of steps...very healthy and vegetarian. Here are some pictures of the squash before roasting, then the sauteed chard which goes into the stuffing, and the final product. All this in an effort to eat seasonally and with less meat this year of 2010. I'm easing back into that anti-inflammatory diet.
Besides a bit of cooking I've been finishing up the intense and long book "The Other Boleyn Girl." I'm finding the whole Tudor England thing by turns grim and fascinating. One unexpected thing is facing numerous depictions of miscarriages, both of Queen Catherine and Anne. I can't say that I've read many accounts in fiction, so reading this book had some painfully personal moments.
On a more upbeat note, I woke up and did my own yoga practice at home. It was lovely to stretch out and breath. I played some mellow yoga music and really relaxed. What a nice way to start the day. Another goal for 2010 is to do more yoga!
Interesting cooking, but you cook food that takes too much work for my taste, but I was so glad you took time when you were home to do such great cooking. I finally read all your "blogs", going back to Christmas Day. All interesting & enjoyable!!
