Andrea is the cook in our house. Steven is in charge of dishes. In most households this would be an unfair division of labor. In our household, it balances out perfectly because when Andrea cooks she uses every pan, dish and utensil in the kitchen. Andrea cooks like our four-year-old nephew eats. It’s a joyous, full-body experience. Nothing is left untouched. The aftermath looks like the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
In the case of Andrea’s cooking, trashing the kitchen is a good thing. The more dishes involved in the creation, the better the meal. This has never been so true as it was last Friday night.
Dinner consisted of seared duck breast with citrus jus, bacon and sage white beans and a kale and romaine salad with avocado and mandarin oranges. We paired it with a 2012 Alban Vineyards Roussanne.
