Thursday / Butternut Squash & Golden Beet Soup with Truffle Oil
Il Passatore, one of our favorite restaurants, makes an incredible butternut squash ravioli with truffle oil. Ever since I ate it that first time, I've been obsessed with trying to recreate a similar dish at home. This time I wasn't really in the mood for pasta, but I finally shelled out $9 for that teeny tiny bottle of truffle oil, and thought it would be delicious atop a creamy, pureed squash soup with parmesan cheese.
The result? Pretty good, but not quite good enough. Next time I think I'll add some garlic to the soup base and will stick to straight-up squash, instead of adding the beets. Maybe a little more maple syrup as well? I'll keep working on it!
p.s. the other day, I received an incredible package from my Grammy with 16 hand-sewn cloth napkins inside. The napkins, which can be seen in this photo, are just perfect and made my dinner feel all the more special. Thanks, Gram!

Hey Sexy #1 and #2:
What I'd like to see here are some recipe-type-directions. The photos are enough to inspire, but not enough to attempt mimicry! In loo of taste buds basic ingredients would do...
Love the blog.

this is a familiar request! unfortunately, i'm pretty good at dumping stuff in a pot all willy-nilly, but not so good at drafting recipes. i do see the value in listing ingredients (it'd be good for my own memory as well as the readers') and plan to start writing a bit more about the cooking process in the narrative. so, bear with us as we work out the kinks! i'm glad you like the blog! xx. m.
