I have recently been terrible about updating and cooking - don't know what has gotten into me, but this long weekend i went out of town, and did a bunch of cooking and picture taking, so i'll have a ton of material for the next few weeks. On Good Friday, i went up to Mike's cottage and Jarred and i cooked an epic dinner - which there are so many things i realized that i would actually have to write a couple different blogs about since there were so many things and so many pictures.
I'm starting out with the grilled veggies we did for the dinner. When i was driving up on Friday, none of the grocery stores were open, and since i hadn't really been cooking, i actually didn't have that much to bring up - luckily there were a few fruit markets open on Bloor West so i picked up a ton of veggies for the meal. Now as i may have mentioned in another post, these boys are pretty serious about their meat so i always like to add some veggies, plus it gives me something to eat.
For the grilled veggies i marinated huge portabello mushrooms, a couple eggplants and of course some asparagus. We cooked them ahead of time, since the rest of the meal actually required the grill, and served them at room temperature. I dressed the eggplant and mushrooms with a light balsamic dressing before we served them, and dusted the asparagus with Parmesan.
