Soul Food

Sunday's are made for family dinners. It should be a law that you have to gather and eat a comforting meal. I hope to start a tradition one day. Anwyho, I go over to cook dinner at my parent's house; Osso Buco to be exact and yes it came out fantastic. It was a classic scene my dad on the couch watching the World Series with the cats, my niece running amuck, my mom, sister, and I chatting, chopping, and frying away. The stew is bubbling on the stove and the rest of the courses are prepped so the girls sit down at the table for a mean game of gin rummy. Severl hands and few choice Italian curse words later and dinner was ready. Everything came together quite nicely. Mixed green salad with Italian dressing (yes homemade), rustic croutons, and shaved parmesean started off the meal. Then came the hearty Osso Bucco and creamy cheesy mushroom risotto. I must say it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. There's nothing like a home cooked dinner being shared with your family, for once in harmony.
