But dessert! My daughter made some Dutch butter cookies and brought some for the holidays. The last pieces were stale, so I poured some rum over them and made some sweetened whipped cream. Just what I needed!

Pulled pork with spicy barbecue sauce.

Cole slaw, southern potato salad and macaroni and cheese with crumbled bacon.

Key lime pie.

Pomegranate martini.

All from a wonderful restaurant in Belhaven, NC called Spoon River. A delicious menu of farm-to-fork selections. We've been there several times and the menu choices always change. (Hope that doesn't sound like a commercial!)

from a local locker, over braised cabbage, with mashed potatoes.

Made the stock today with onion, celery, carrot, cabbage, frozen garden tomatoes and egg noodles.

Baguette.

I have breast cutlets sous vide, ready to finish. I still need to make some marinara though, so I have to do a quick trip to the grocery store. Any minute now, lol.

made with ground beef, veal, lamb, and pork, carrots, celery, onions, and bread crumbs. We're going to try to make a gravy with leftover mushroom soup. Maybe I used too many carrots - it looks kinda orange!

the refrigerator. I was at a friend's house; we drank red wine and munched on a dried fruit tray that we received as a gift. I also showed her "You Can't Take It With You" which she loved. It is the Jason Robards version (Best in the Business) It was on You Tube. There are a lot of stage plays on You Tube!

When I got home, he was in the middle of making ice cream! It is going to be good: chocolate with some coconut folded in
