As the storm rages on here, we continue to shovel snow, cook and eat.  My mom came to ride out the storm with us, so she's been in the kitchen as well. Here she  keeps an eye on the Balsamic Glaze (page 15) we made last night. This stuff is seriously like liquid gold. Last night's menu featured Pork Tenderloin Balsamico (page 43) with Sautéed Cabbage, Bacon & Egg Noodles (page 43) and a 2010 Il Poeta Barbera D'Alba. Yum! (See What's In the Glass for a review of this one.) After another round of shoveling, I whipped up some omelettes, fried some bacon and added a bit of fruit so we could pretend we were being healthy. This Omelette (page 10) was filled with sautéed red peppers and mayan onions, with my favorite ingredient - Boursin cheese. My fellow eaters elected gouda and/or cheddar cheese instead (Wow, what's up with that?). Bacon was maple applewood, all accented with fresh organic raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and cherries.
