So...whats for dinner?

Happy New Year.

We'll be going to the radiation oncology dept. this afternoon to have DH's "mask"/grid thing made. He'll start treatments next week, after the NY. So many unknowns, no kidding…cancer…wish it would leave forever.

Hopeful for duck breasts. No booze for DH. I may stick with red wine. …the elixir of the gods for me. Maybe I'll have a pour of something nice after dinner.

Haven't decided on dinner yet. It won't be a traditional NY menu. Since my DD is not working tonight I might volunteer to cook anyway…I have a grocery order coming in an hour so I will have options. Usually when she is off she cooks for her and her daughter. When she works I cook for the four of us. (She works nights and leaves right after dinner.) It is my contribution in exchange for her helping me. We have been managing two-generation living for over ten years now and it works for us.

Happy New Year everyone.

Last night was the remains of the brisket doused in bbq sauce served on hoagie rolls. It was delicious.

I have never seen ground pork at Costco. The Raos frequently goes on sale at Costco. That's when I usually buy it. Lately I've also been buying Victorias Organic marinara when they have it. It's more expensive but it's a larger jar (32 ounces). It's a different taste from Raos, very bright and fresh tasting. I like it very much and use them both. Unfortunately like the eggplant, it’s hit or miss if they have it at Costco.

DH requested steak tonight so I'll take some flat iron steaks from the freezer and rework the leftover scalloped potatoes that are reaching the end of their viability. I have a small ham for tomorrow that we'll have with Hoppin John and spinach. I'll probably make cornbread as well.

Wishing all of you the happiest of new years.
