MENU FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 14, 2009LAST WEEK BOTH OF US HAD A LITTLE INTESTINAL PROBLEM, SO ONCE AGAIN, T HE MENU WAS CHANGED. WE DID A COUPLE OF NIGHTS OF SIMPLE R OAST CHICKEN – REALLY NOTHING BETTER, BUT EASY AND BASIC. AND HENCE ANOTHER BIG POT OF SOUP – THIS TIME CHICKEN VEGETABLE WITH ORZO. REAL COMFORT FOOD.
IT IS YET AGAIN NASTY HERE WITH RAIN/SNOW/SLEET/ICE – AND OF COURSE COLD. HOWEVER, THE SUPERMARKET FLYERS ARE FILLED WITH SALES ON THE FOODS OF FESTIVALS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT OUR MENUS.
STANDING RIB IS A MUST FOR CHRISTMAS EVE AND I THINK PROBABLY A MARYLAND CRAB IMPERIAL FOR CHRISTMAS. FOR NEW YEARS… NOT SURE. RACK OF LAMB? ROAST LEG OF LAMB? DUCK? SHRIMP NEWBURG? CROWN ROAST OF PORK?
SO MANY PLEASURES!
(For reasons best known to the folk in Seattle, my computer decided to stop working yesterday. Software problem. So while I've most of the software reloaded, I don't have the backup files in place yet, so I doubt pictures will show up soon. Perhaps by the end of the week.)
