Chiles rellano (with cotija cheese), refried beans, & tortilla chips. I drank G&Ts, and The Missus drank red wine. I got some yolk in the bowl from the first egg, so I added it to the yolk bowl. I cleaned the whites bowl and started again. ---

My Easter dinner ended up being a Hungry Man frozen dinner I had in my freezer. (It was their “Classic Fried Chicken” meal.) I was supposed to go over to my sister’s for a full Easter dinner(with Spiral Ham) but my brother-in-law tested positive for Covid on Friday so those plans were scuttled. ---

“Prime” rib and baked potato. That was the cut but certainly not graded prime but “choice rib” doesn’t seem to have any associated mental image. Prepared following the YouTube from Food Wishes and Chef John. ---

Lots of matzo Haroset Zinfandel and Kedem grape juice, both for the ritual and for supper. dessert: Flourless chocolate cake Lemon angel pie a piece of matzo to share, and some chocolate Easter bunnies for the people who found it.

> [@Chronos](#): > > DANDELION SALAD > [@Paul\_was\_in\_Saudi](#): > > A wonderful baked bean casserole my wife makes. This thread needs some recipes. Just sayin’. 🤨 * * * * * * My next door neighbor had invited me over for dinner, but just as I was getting ready to walk out the door, she texted that a co-worker of hers had tested positive for COVID (even though the woman was fully vaccinated and double-boosted). Out of an abundance of caution, my neighbor canceled… I will confess I shed a tear or two… I really like these people, plus they’re great cooks… Then about an hour later, my doorbell rang and it was the son of the family with a plate for me: ribeye steak, baked potato, grilled asparagus. That was really sweet… and _delish!_ I couldn’t finish the steak and will have the rest for lunch today. ---

> [@tim-n-va](#): > > “Prime” rib and baked potato. > > That was the cut but certainly not graded prime but “choice rib” doesn’t seem to have any associated mental image. Yes. As a data-oriented person, I’m uncomfortable calling USDA Choice rib ‘prime rib’. But I still try (often successfully) to break the habit of accuracy in this case. ---
