Spring dinner for one

Game hen, soup and bread sliceGiven the differences in my schedule and handsome’s, I eat alone a few times a week. As a cook, this is a challenge as it is for anyone that cooks for one. Either too much effort or too much product makes it a challenge.

This meal is a simple one. Leftover green garlic and asparagus from our Sunday meal, made a lovely green garlic confit and a Spring Soup, if you will.

The Cornish game hen, was roasted til lightly cooked and then halved and frozen. I pulled it out of the freezer this morning to thaw in the fridge and then popped in the overnight for a final roast too give crispy skin and heat throughout. At the last minute a slice of homemade Amish loaf adorned the plate.

A nice glass of 2015 California Pinot Noir and the evening was well made.
