Tonight took a different path, all in the fact that we had been picking up our ingredients on Fridays, but this time we found ourselves looking for a recipe and ingredients on Saturday.
Life's twists and turns had us looking at a busy Saturday wondering what to cook and where to find time to do it. Such is life! While at Target picking up a couple of things, we killed two birds with one stone and sneaked back to the book section, perused some recipe books and Pow! There is was: Veal Piccata with Herb Cappellini. After a quick pic on the Smart Phone, we went to Safeway, picked up our herbs and veal, and away we went.
Again, I was learning new things. Kathy taught me how to mince garlic, and chop parsley and basil. I was tasting them along the way and putting it all into my Taste Computer (my brain) so I would know how to make some future concoction of our own. Like Parsley with, uh, Peanut Butter? Nah! Maybe not!
Kathy was trying new things tonight too. She had never had veal before so she was going to learn something during tonight's eating time.
Prep time took us about 25 mins. I floured the veal and cooked it 2 minutes per side while Kathy worked on the pasta side of things. I was checking out what she was doing and sometimes checking her out. ;) Why? Because we like it!
All this to say that the meal took about an hour overall to prepare and cook, but only 10 minutes to eat it. Isn't it funny all the time we take preparing for a few minutes of inhaling food?!
On our food scale, we collectively gave it a 3.
Plus, I learned a Life Lesson: Capers are cool!
Oh, by the way, Mom Wolfe got to experience our delicacy too!
See you next week!
