Tonight we hit up a new-to-us sushi joint on the way back from our mid-week Target run. Our meal came with cotton candy at the close. Nice touch, Sushi Sake.

My Husband Is Out Of Town Indulgence
Every time my DH (Darling Husband) is working late and won’t be home for dinner, I try to cook myself a little something I don’t usually get. In years past, this meal consisted of shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms or sushi. Since he now eats shrimp & asparagus and even the occasional spinach, these dinners are now heavy on the mushrooms and/or vegetables he likes less than others (like zucchini. He barely tolerates zucchini, but living in South Florida and belonging to a CSA, we get tons of it all summer long). Tonight’s dinner I whipped up using the mushrooms, some leftover diced zucchini and leftover cooked millet. It’s simple, satisfying, and indulgent (the butter!).

Sautee 3 Tbsp. diced shallots in 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil on medium-high heat until beginning to brown on the edges.
Add 1 1/2 c. sliced button mushrooms, 1 1/2 c. diced zucchini, 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter and salt & pepper to taste. Sautee until mushrooms are browned and cooked through and zucchini is almost disintegrating, approximately 5 minutes if your slices are small.
Add 1/4 c. cooked millet and stir to combine. Season with salt & pepper and finish off with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to serve.

Happiness is… heated pitched battles with your dad while still in bed. Not sure who won this round, but I’m thankful my little bites is felling better & so full of vinegar.

Product shot setup. Today, my DH and I branched out a bit from art and portrait photography to take a series of product shots.

Ok, so my food obsession is showing. And, Hipstamatic just released a new lens 🙂
This basket of loveliness is strips of grilled fresh foccacia at our favorite brunch spot, Revales Ristorante. This is the first time we’ve tried them for dinner, and we were not sorry. They cooked bay scallops correctly. And snapper. We are so going back.

It’s the little things in life. My DH is working late tonight, so I decided to indulge myself with ingredients he’s not fond of for dinner: zucchini & mushrooms. This simple dish of shallot, butter, button mushrooms, zucchini and millet was pretty derned tasty.
