Help Me with a Lunch Menu . . .

What should I have for lunch today?

(I just had a cannoli & I'm munching on a handful of Nero's apps.  Lunch will be around 2 pm EST today.)

A little bit of everything that's left over from Saturday (minus the bourbon, wine, sidecars, etc. :wink:), so you can relive the entire experience.

It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

As far as lunch . . .

No carrot cake nor custard pie are available. I finished them last night. :raz:

Aurora's carrot cake was the best I've ever had. (Note: Michele promised to make it for me if she receives the recipe.)

Lady T's custard pie was the best I've ever had. That crust!!!

And since pics are coming up . . .

Klink, Michele pleaded that you not post that late-night pic that you took of me.  :blush:

Let's hold that one off the public boards.

Not to worry, that's why they invented blackmail. :smile:

The first rash of pics are coming soon . . .

By the way, Heartlanders kick some serious ass. Hmm, ass -- I'm thinking we should think about smoking some (pork) ass up for New Year's.

I'm going to have a lamb sandwich with some horseradish mayo and sliced onion. :wub:

Guajolote, one of my favorite sandwiches to make with leftover smoked lamb is to carmelize some onions with some fresh hot peppers (red jalepenos are my cherished peppers) and when they're ready, briefly toss in thinly sliced lamb. Deglaze with dry and sweet vermouth, reduce and add butter. Throw the whole lot over a toasted hoagie and you're in heaven.

:blush:

Come on over for New Year's at G-man's. I'll be setting up a batch of seriously brandied mincemeat later this month (note to vegetarians: there will be meat in it) to use in pies for the holiday season.

I love making pie for this outfit.

:biggrin:

Me, I vote for the joyride every time.

Thanks for sending my man back safe and sound, everybody--he had nothing but lovely things to say about you all. And I got the bonus of a phone message from Maggie, Lady T, and Aurora--what a treat! :wub: I can't wait to meet you all.

I saw those late-night pics, MatthewB--I'm shocked! Shocked I say! :blink:

Did he bring you leftovers or did he eat them all in the car?

You have a great husband.

You have a great husband.

And a great houseguest. I wish we had more time to converse, though -- both nights the routine was: come back home, brush teeth, see you in the morning, crash.

Here's the Beet Salad Recipe.

Thanks! I'm not a blue cheese fan, but thought the salad pre-Maytag addition rocked. Any thoughts on substituting another kind of cheese for the blue? Maybe some goat cheese?

I've done it with a soft goat cheese and harder aged ones. Both work well.

What about Ricotta Salata?

Sure thing. I'll see what the beets look like at Whole Paycheck and report back.

I should add that the freshness of the beets is the most important thing. If you can, get beets with the greens attached. Sometimes I cook the greens with some bacon and serve the salad on top of the greens
