Jestynn was up again this morning for her second presentation with more Italian cookery. In her usual style of short and sweet, she made a White Lasagna with Shrimp that had a nice bechamel sauce and layers of cheese, and a pepper stew.She kept it simple and was finished quickly. I loved that she brought in her mothers corning ware casserole dis
h. Boy did that bring back memories!
While we waited for her lasagna to bake chef put together another lasagna with a Bolognese sauce. He assembled them in a narrow terrine alternating the meat sauce with the bechamel sauce.
He then gave us a demonstration on making fresh buffalo mozzarella. You start with the curd and heat it in water until all the whey is gone and you have this soft mass. You lift it out of the hot water oil and gently roll it into a ball then drop it into ice water to set. It was delicious with a little olive oil, salt, and ground pepper.
I spent the rest of the day making butternut squash ravioli. A true labor of love. Some of the other dishes that people worked on were linguine with clams, lasagna and another variation of chicken Marsala. We hosted the daily school luncheon and before I could get my act together to take a picture of the dishes everything was pretty much gone.
Oh well. It all looked nice.
Pizza tomorrow.
Goodnight.
