Last night: celebration BIL's 59th birthday - pizza(1/2 plain; 1/2 Hawaiian - for the BIL!!!), lobster bisque for BIL and shrimp marinara for John from Madison's in Pleasant Valley, NY. Did you notice there were no vegetables? Not unusual in Poughkeepsie.
If/when John gets home there will be a roasted chicken, roasted carrots, baked sweet potatoes and a small amount of mash. Oh... and dressing; herb dressing with sautéed shallots and apple. And Ahh! Bisto chicken gravy fortified with the skimmed drippings.
Leftover dark meat chicken off the bone with noodles for pho tomorrow.
