voyager Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Walking for papers is our part of our exercise routine since we spend a third of our time out of town and a pile of papers at your door is a signal to thieves.

The suggestion of anchovy is a good one. Thanks! I’ll make it for tonight’s supper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Mushroom Lardons with Black-Eyed Peas. Even though N overcooked the black-eyed peas a little bit, this was really, really good--an umami bomb, just as advertised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One man's overcooked black-eyed peas is another man's limp green beans. To each his own. No sweat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Avoiding conversation re authenticity, MY shu pork with home-did pancakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paryzer Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Mrs. P went all out for our New Year's Eve dinner. She made coffee rubbed Heritage double cut pork chops from D’Artagnan, with sides of roasted delicata squash and roasted Brussels sprouts with butternut squash, crispy bacon, pearl onions, fried sage, and maple syrup. For dessert she made pineapple rum ice cream with caramel sauce and fresh fruit. It all went great with Molly Dooker The Boxer Shiraz and 20 year old Taylor Fladgate port. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't warrant a picture; not as pretty as yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
