Sunday is easily Jeremy and I’s favorite day to cook. We usually have all day, and we take advantage of the time. Often, we make something from our favorite cook book,
Stir by Barbara Lynch.
Today, Jeremy surprised me by choosing oysters and a potato soup that I’ve been wanting to try.
Usually, our oyster eating is within the confines of a restaurant, generally Santa Monica Seafood. Not anymore! Jeremy picked up 2 of my favorite oysters – kusshi and kumomoto. Both are small, sort of sweet – and all good. To go with them, I made a cocktail sauce, and he bought the mignonette that Santa Monica Seafood serves.

Next comes the Leek and Potato Soup. We also made the suggested (from the recipe) black olive potato chips to serve with the soup.

All I can say is that it was absolutely delicious (I had seconds), and we’ll definitely be making this again. Now if only there weren’t a mountain of dishes to do…
