granola is on the left and ancient grain breakfast cereal is on the right . . the recipes are from feeding the whole family by cynthia lair. i've been using this cookbook since the 90's. the ancient grain cereal is a mix of teff, millet, oats, polenta, almonds, sesame seeds and barley. i rinsed everything and then laid it out on a cookie sheet and toasted it in the oven for about 20 minutes (yesterday). this morning i ground a cup of cereal in the vitamix and simmered it on the stove for 15 minutes (with about 3 cups of water). it has a delicious nutty flavor.
we met friends in the oculus for ice cream at l'arte del gelato at four o'clock today.
my favorite ice cream! today i had pistachio and milk chocolate.
afterwards, i walked with morgan to wooster street and ellen's dance class and then stopped at rafetto's for wild mushroom ravioli which i paired with the shitake mushrooms i had in the fridge from the green market last saturday. this evening after dinner we made teff cookies and also the dough for moon cookies which we'll roll out in the morning.
