Me and the husband stayed in and had a little party just for the two of us, complete with the following party food: - mini fish-finger sandwiches with tartar sauce - mini chicken kebab - tempura prawns - mini duck spring rolls - chicken liver and wild mushroom pate on crusty French bread - assorted nuts - champagne. First meal of 2009 was a bacon roll. ---

Last of 2008 - I made Cajun yellow rice and broccoli with cheese, to go with some Teriyaki chicken breasts I had picked up from Kroger (frozen). First of 2009 - I don’t think I had anything but coffee all day, until just now when I had a cupful of turnip greens with a piece of jalapeno cornbread. I’m waiting on the pork chops to get browned in the oven. ---

My wife treated me to a petit filet mignon, rare, with crumbled bleu cheese and A-1 sauce (I’m an addict for A-1 sauce), lima beans (very mushy and smothered in butter with a good dose of salt, just as I like 'em) and mashed potatoes, washed down with a glass of wine and a glass of water, followed by two mugs of hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows. Delicious! ---

Dinner - well, we ate too much cheese and crackers to do the planned pork empanadas, so it was a big bowl of popcorn each with Cabot cheddar cheese powder. We’ll do the empanadas tonight (leftover red pork chile, shredded, chipotle, scallions, cheese, pickled jalapenos all baked in pie dough - a new recipe). Bfst - eggs with scallions & brie, bacon. First non-oatmeal breakfast for me in quite some time.
