The kids remain at Grandparent Shangri-La, and we are free to cook at our leisure…sigh! We threw some Afro-Cuban jazz on the Sonos and are currently spinning delicious delights in the kitchen.

On the menu tonight: cremini mushroom risotto finished with madeira and beet powder accompanied by flank steak smothered in peppercorn gravy.  Add a nice bottle of wine to share, some Ballers (thanks again, HBO) and it’s a Marvellous Monday!

And the post-script with a little beet dye for colour…
