I had a few of my knitting group friends over for dinner the other night. Brian offered to cook us dinner instead of ordering out, and I gladly took him up on it. He asked a friend at work, "What do you cook four women?" His friend replied "I'm sure they'll appreciate whatever you make, because they didn't have to cook it!"
Roasted cranberry chicken, lemon and thyme quinoa, sauteed green beans. Damn! Brian even did the "Iron Chef" description of what he did as we started to eat, but I'm not sure anyone but me heard him. We were already busily scarfing down the deliciousness. Lots of leftovers too. Oh, and I haven't been a big believer in quinoa in the past, but this recipe from America's Test Kitchen has made me a raving fan. Into the notebook it goes!
The next day, we roasted a turkey. One of my tenants asked if I'd like to have a frozen turkey that she wasn't going to use so of course I said yes. We had my brother and SIL over, and it was a fun night. lots of leftovers from that too, despite sending them home with some.
And then last night, my next door neighbor brought over a baked ziti casserole as a thank you for helping clear her driveway last week during Snowpocalpyse '13. Had that for dinner the past two nights, and there's STILL three helpings left for lunch(es). Talk about a very good weekend!
