*Saturday and Sunday we prepared Shredded Barbecued Beef, half on the grill, half in the oven. We also made the Cook's Illustrated recipe for barbecue sauce; it needed longer to simmer to an appropriate thickness, but it was delicious. I made mashed potatoes for a base. We actually cooked the beef the day before and then put it in the slow cooker on Sunday.
*Sunday and Monday we finished off Mocha Butter Balls and Almond Butter Cookies, our first two cookies for the Christmas baking season. It's the same basic dough with additions. Both are good, but the mocha cookies are the most addictive.
*Potato, Broccoli, and Cheddar Soup is a Martha Stewart recipe we prepared on Monday. The real treasure for me of this recipe is the cheesy garlic toast that you make with it. The soup is fine! Very good even! But I love the toast.
*Blue Cheese Salad was prepared by the Son from our 30 Minute Cookbook. It's a strong vinaigrette, lettuce, blue cheese, croutons, and then we added some cut up chicken strips. We loved it.
*Soup and Ravioli and Taquitos: This was all premade things that I warmed up. We are about a month away from the musical so most of my energy starts going into learning and maintaining the music for that, and suppers need to get easier.
*Moonlight Madness in downtown Shawnee will provide tonight's supper as I will be getting home after 6 from a Mass with students at Unbound for their preachers.
*Cheese Manicotti is planned for our Friday meal; I might make the filling and sauce today so it's easier to assemble tomorrow.
