Still have half a of that big rack of St. Louis BBQ ribs to finish off. Will make fried potatoes again, just because they're. Instead od slaw last night, since I didn't have anything to make the dressing with, that too will be a repeat of green salad with homemade bleu cheese dressing.

Oh, and at the moment, I'm in the process of making a fruit cake I've been promising him to make since before the holidays.

Edited typo.

This is only the second and final night, so thankfully we're good. Thanks! Hope you have a great night, too.

over vermicelli with freshly grated parmesan. No fresh veggies on hand, so it's tomato slices and canned green beans.

Big green salad on the side with a white balsamic vinaigrette and crispy polenta cakes with a white bean and kale saute on top.

Deconstructed street corn on the side.
Vino and maybe a piece of chocolate later.

I’ve been cooking and freezing for the past couple of weeks so I’ve got options.

to struggle through all of that lemon cheesecake until it's gone. Oh, the sacrifice!

but I cut 4 thin slices and froze them. Because of the lemon curd on top, I had to freeze them first, and then take them out and wrap them tightly and put them back in the freezer. To thaw, I'll have to unwrap first, so that the wrap doesn't remove all the curd.

That's another neat aside to the cheesecake story--I learned how to make homemade lemon curd. I told Al last year that there were a lot of plain cookie recipes that could be dressed up w/ a little lemon curd. Now I can try that.
