DINNER 340: Thursday, December 7, 2006

I threw together some pasta, tuna, olives, garlic, and other items tonight to make a peasant meal. It was good, though I made too much pasta which diluted the taste of everything else. Once I’d ‘eaten down’ the pasta, the flavor profile balanced and it was…

Wendy & I had some errands tonight, so it was a quick dinner at Steak-n-Shake. I had a Mushroom & Swiss Burger (not very good, honestly), some fries and cottage cheese.

Wendy received a gift card for Max & Erma’s restaurant chain today at her office, so we went there for a light dinner. I had a bowl of their tomato basil soup and half a roast beef and brie cheese sandwich. Everything was good, and we got to go to Books A Million afterward, so it was a fun evening.

With errands behind us, Wendy & I went to see the 4:00 production of THE TRIAL OF EBENEZER SCROOGE at Falcon Theater. They did a good job, and Donnie, who played Scrooge, did an exceptional job. It was an entertaining show. Since we were nearby,…

DINNER 345: Tuesday, December 12, 2006

Tonight, we had some kitchen-related stuff to do — Wendy baked a few cakes in preparation for upcoming events, and we made 6 pounds of chocolate bark (in addition to the three pounds we prepared yesterday).

I prepared a lovely pork tenderloin stuffed with proscuitto and rosemary and served it with pan-roasted brussels sprouts. A very tasty dinner!
