What's for Dinner, Wed., Nov. 11, 2020 [View all]

I bought two heads of the best ruffly green and Boston lettuces yesterday, so tossed salad with red and green pepper, radish, red onion, chopped asparagus, black olives, and various sliced cheeses from our election party on Saturday.

Tortellini (pumpkin) which has sauce of onion, sage, butter, cream, a bit of garlic. Creamed, and then a little goat cheese from Denmark added to it.

Bison burgers on Brioche rolls. The RG makes them about 5" high with lettuce, cheese, tomato, and red onion.

For dessert, caramel core vanilla ice cream, but only a little bit. The RG is just having a shortbread cookie. Chai tea, too.

On another topic, I wanted to tell a bit about our election party that we had on Sunday. The weather was beautiful, so we had it outside. Only two other friends were invited, but they are long time friends who share our politics. In fact, we've been through a number of election watches/parties with them before. Sadly, on the first bush/SC steal, our friends had gone home that evening. We all thought Al Gore was going to be the president when we awoke the next morning.

Our friends brought chili, which was topped with raw onion and cheese. Also homemade corn bread. For dessert, brownies and ice cream.

The RG made beef short ribs with sauce. Also leeks and potatoes with pancetta. A plate of cheese and crackers.

Here's are pics of the table I set before our friends arrived. I sewed the cushion covers myself.
