What we ate this week

I think we ate well this week. Give some of these a try and let me know what you think:

• Broiled tilapia with apple salad and mustard-parsley sauce (I blew off the brining step on the fish and substituted baby greens from the garden for the frisee -- still wicked)
• Mark Bittman's apple crisp (heh, you knew there'd be at least ONE apple recipe here)
• Red pepper soup (I love this one because you just use the peppers as-is -- no peeling)
• Roasted halloumi, bacon and tomato salad (if you've never cooked with halloumi cheese, you are in for a treat -- you can even grill it!)
• Pasta with hot italian sausage and swiss chard (you should have seen me, harvesting chard from the garden in the dark with a headlamp -- but it was worth it!)
• Ham, apple and arugula pizza with fontina cheese (no recipe needed -- just layer these ingredients on to a store-bought pizza shell that's been spread with a 2:1 mixture of mayo and dijon mustard and bake at 425 for about 10 minutes -- my policy is that you can pretty much make a pizza out of any ingredients that taste great together)

Last but not least, today is our 10-year wedding anniversary, so I'll be making ze duck... I'll let you know how it goes.
