sunday dinner


so here are a couple of pictures of one of the dishes we made- lamb shanks with polenta. it used porcini mushrooms, orange zest, lots of bay leaves, and many other things. the lamb & sauce took 3 hours to make! we also served stuffed mushrooms, salad, spaghetti with wild mushrooms, and (best of all) banana bread pudding with caramel sauce. we had never made any of the dishes (except for the stuffed mushrooms), so it was all quite an experiment. i think i'm happiest with the bread pudding - i can't remember the last time my mouth was so happy!!!
