With the student's 10 day break completed and everyone back at the Kartause, it seems that everyone is craving home-cooked food. Southerners are missing their cajan cuisine while mid-westerners are dying to have just some plain old meat and potatoes -- just as long as it isn't pork! City goers, in their typical cosmopolitan fashion, miss their Thai and Chinese specialties.
But, with the change in weather, even the faculty and staff are missing some of their familiar favorites. Prof. Seifert-Wolter was making pumpkin soup last week while Niki and I made a pot of Chicken Noodle yesterday evening. But surely it isn't only soup that we crave. For example, over the break, I was craving Italian Risotto, perhaps because it reminded me of sun, shore, and leisure; my wife's request, a complementary Chicken Marsala.
So, we stopped dreaming and started cooking: Italian risotto with prosciutto and white wine, chicken marsala, steamed broccoli (al dente), a fresh salad, and a zesty white wine. We were happy people that evening!
