Spent much of the day in the kitchen, just like I like for a weekend. I found some really nice looking leeks at the market yesterday. So I decided on a leek and potato soup but took the opportunity to dress it up by topping it off with a few seared scallops. They worked great together.

Dinner was a summer favorite, broiled lamb chops with a vegetable gratin. It's a sin to not make a vegetable gratin at this time of year with everything ripe and in season.

That's some good stuff!
I was over at friends for dinner but for lunch it was quick and easy improvisation - seared tuna, mashed potatoes with a bit of wasabi, and kale dressed with lime juice and olive oil (and threw in the zest of the lime for extra kick of lime-ness). The night before I had made a shrimp risotto and had some leftover stock from the shrimp shells, so I deglazed the skillet of the tuna with it emulsified it with some butter and tried it as a sauce on part of the tuna - it worked well enough :)
