Puff bebe

Tonight for dinner i made a fancy meal of:

1) "Wild blend" rice with toasted pine nuts. I added golden raisins to my half because be hates fruit in savory dishes. On the other hand, i think the dish would be missing something if it weren't for dried fruit. I usually use dried cherries or cranberries but we didn't have any.

2) Spinach & feta puff pastries. I used half of the frozen puff pastry dough and this recipe. Instead of frozen spinach i used fresh and i also added a little bit of parmesan cheese. They came out really good! We started eating them straight out of the oven so we burned our tongues (and for some reason i bit myself twice in the same place) but we just couldn't stop; they were just too yummy. The pastry is really flaky and light. Next i want to try the mushroom & basil cups.

3) Broccoli florets with lemon pepper. Too bad i overcooked the broccoli this time since i was preoccupied with pinching pastries shut. I haven't messed up broccoli in the last 20 broccolis!

A noteworthy fact: be actually finished all his food before me! He's the slowest eater imaginable and i usually beat him by an hour or so. I always find him on the couch watching tv with a plate of little piles of cold food.

Now he's working on databasing his media with Delicious Library. I'm going to catalogue all my books with this too. You can't eat it but it's still delicious.
