Hmmm...... Donuts......

When Adrian went into the hospital last week we got tons of well-wishing emails and calls from friends. One of the most common question/concern was whether we have anything to eat. Apparently there is an epidemic of new parents who all of a sudden lose any ability to cook or eat real food and resort to making potato chip sandwiches.

Never! During the hospital stay we had piroshki, sushi & burritoes. Troy & Megan brought us pizza. Upon returing home we have made gumbo (roasted chicken, bacon, chicken tarragon sausage, shallots, file, baby corn and artichoke hearts), king salmon grilled on cedar plank (sugar, spices, kosher salt, lemon juice and wasabi) and swiss chard sauteed with bacon (vegetables taster better with bacon). Tonight we're grilling top sirloin with cherry tomatoes, brussel sprouts and, of course, bacon.

This morning we decided to introduce Crumpet to a crucial Seattle insitution - TOP POT DONUT. Yes, The Crumpet has eaten the donut, she is lost to us forever.
