What's For Dinner? - 2023

[Winchester]

Our dinner yesterday was delicious. I did the pork chops in the top oven, the potatoes in the bottom oven, the dried corn in the microwave, and the squash, etc. in the Ninja. It all worked out. Rick had his cheesecake for dessert and I had two cookies.

We are doing brunch today and that will be all the cooking I will do.
Rick is making two quiches (recipe makes two), I'm making my version of Cracker Barrel's potato casserole, and we'll have a warm fruit salad. Orange juice. Between the leftovers from yesterday and then from today, we can fend for ourselves for dinner tonight.

I wanted to make sticky buns last night, but it didn't happen. Just too tired.

In addition to all the dips and appetizers..
Desserts: Yule log, cookies, and cookies, brownies....

Tons of stuff.
I had a piece of Italian calzone and a big slice of ham, a tiny piece of eggplant parm.
Dessert was a piece of brownie, and a chocolate chip cookie.
That was it.. I had eaten a meatball at home, around 3pm.

Today is an easy, comfy day..
Ravioli, sauce, meatballs.. Dessert: blueberry pie or cookies or mint chocolate ice cream. I am just going with the flow, on what I want, when I want it... and how much I want.
Came home from early Mass, got into lounging pjs, had 2nd cup of coffee and a slice of blueberry pie.. listening to instrumental Christmas music...
a nice easy, quiet day... so glad.. and a feasting, picking on food day!

We were invited for Christmas brunch at one of our dog friend neighbor's house yesterday. She loves to cook and I told her she should start her own catering company. She even made beautifully creative winter centerpieces. Too much to list but suffice to say we were stuffed. We went home with doggie bags for the humans so leftovers for dinner and dessert tonight.

While I'm not of Italian lineage their food is exceptional . I was fortunate to live in Italy from '89-'92.

That reminded me of Marie, the mother on Everybody Loves Raymond. She was proud of her cooking and said the special ingredient in her food was love.
