Today I made a broccoli/cauliflower/cheese soup, scalloped potatoes and meat loaf. Pretty basic. I found cauliflower on sale and picked up some broccoli, steamed them and made a white sauce and added cheddar cheese off the heat.
We love scalloped potatoes and there are none left.The meat loaf was very plain, old fashioned meat loaf which Jim ate with ketchup. He’s headed out of town tomorrow morning for interviews, hope all goes well. I may have a cheese quesadilla for lunch and figure out what to have for dinner and all day Saturday. Perhaps I’ll go see a matinee while I peruse menu choices.
I do plan to make the time to finish “Spain: A Culinary Road Trip” by Mario Batali with Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, I’ve never been to Spain (but I kind of like the Beatles)… and the food sounds fresh and delicious. Unfortunately for my loving husband, many of Spain’s traditional dishes include fish/seafood to which he is deathly allergic.
Sunday is our sixth wedding anniversary and I plan to make something he likes a lot, which probably involves steak. Can’t get the man off the farm!
Today I did laundry and ironed some of Jim’s non-dress shirts and about fifty napkins in case we decide to have a tapas or dinner party, or move cities. Who knows? Cheers! Dee
