Tonight for dinner, I had promised to make Matt buffalo wings. It was sort of a consolation prize because we went to get new phones today, and only one of us walked out of the store with a new phone. See, we hadn't realized that the data plan would be $30 per phone when we had thought we would get phones with email and such. And Matt was not actually planning on using the internet on the phone, he had only wanted email, so...
(Confession: I got the new HTC Incredible Droid, and I freakin love this phone. I have been playing with it all night)
So buffalo wings for dinner. Also, when we got home he spent 2 hours helping me rototill the side garden, plant vegetables, and construct a fence to keep the critters away. But there weren't actually very many chicken wings left in the bag in the freezer, so I wound up deciding to grill the kielbasa which we had in the fridge and make a salad to go with. And that's where the magic happened.
Baby arugula, red pepper strips, shaved pecorino, glazed pecans, balsamic, olive oil, and salt and pepper. All tossed in a bowl and devoured. The arugula had a more delicate bite than the peppery mature version, and the sweetness of the pecan glaze against the rich and tangy vinegar and the salty cheese. Oh MAN.
I need to buy more of those pecans tomorrow.
