You know what you like for this holiday.
We’re having steak this year, copying friends in PA.
Monday
1. Karen reminded me earlier this week about Shake and Bake so gotta have it. J Kay made the other two items Monday night and the cabbage was really good, not smelly at all, but I don’t have the recipe on me. So I’ll post it if I get it from her.
2. I’ve never been a real fan of brussel sprouts, but when out to dinner a month or so ago for work I tasted one that someone else ordered and I have to admit they were really good.
