Chocolate pudding before bedtime.

Good Evening

The soup is homemade turkey soup from leftover Christmas dinner

The sandwiches are: REUBENs


I didn't make dessert, but there may be a few of the molasses cookies left.

My daughter brought me a filet. I broiled it with liquid smoke and butter, then seasoned with salt and pepper on the plate. It's a real treat

I'm going to her house tomorrow for pork and sauerkraut.

Happy New Year!

It’s kind of become a New Years Eve tradition. Topped with plant-based cheese, mushrooms, onions, eggplant, black olives and extra oregano. My brother made us an apple strudel for dessert. Happy New Year! Cheers! 🍻

The first of the local Dungeness crabs are available-and no more expensive than last year- so we’re having crab with local romaine lettuce, a small loaf of sourdough that was still warm when I bought it this morning, and a dressing that I still need to make. I’ll make a stock with the crab shells, and there may be enough crab left over for some bisque tomorrow.

And cherries for dessert. I got some Chilean ranier cherries for $4/lb today. I don’t know what the catch is, but local ones are $10 to $14 a pound during their short season

with green onions and tabasco. 2# of beans made 7 pints of beans (no rice), of which 5 are canned and put away in the pantry. We had half of the rest 2 nights ago, and most of the rest tonight. The remainder will make a nice breakfast on a work day.

Dessert was the first still-hot slices of a new loaf of bread. I needed to use up the last of the mashed sweet potatoes and that sort of thing (or pumpkin or squash) makes a very good addition to dough. The sugars help it rise really well, the flavor is good and the final color is a nice gold.
