Seasonal Squash

Some of my most favorite people on the swings.  I love this picture Eli is totally watching his Tt and Nataly pump.  He was amazed at how high Nataly could go.  Sam and I think everyone enjoyed this lazy Sunday stroll.

Crispy Duckling and Duck Confit with Sweet Corn Polenta with Roasted Pears and Chantrelle Mushrooms and Basalmic Cider Reduction sauce.  This is just one of the dishes I had at a PCC cooking class I took last night.  I was very impressed with the chef and her ability to cook, educate and entertain all at the same time.  She of course had two sous chefs, everything was very yummy and inspirational for the season.  One fruit that was in one of her dishes was adriatic figs, if they are still in season I plan on using them next week.  I checked the store and what they had was a little too ripe to buy.

I'm really going to start making baby food for Sam so Eli picked out this Butternut squash.  I just couldn't help laugh at it.
