Thursday the 30th: Food of the Week

 *Home Fries with scrambled eggs and bacon were our supper on Sunday. Most Cook's Illustrated home fry recipes use the oven, and I would prefer that method, but this one used a skillet. They were very good...maybe a little too brown? I still loved them.

*Best Shortbread was our Christmas cookie for the week. I made a double batch so that we had enough to eat and enough to freeze. It takes a little bit longer than the recipe says to fully cook through the middle, but once that's done it's a pretty delicious cookie. I've never made the variation with dipping in chocolate.

* Butternut squash and mushroom noodle bowls is a Better Homes and Gardens recipe. I used bucatini since I couldn't find udon noodles and green beans for mushrooms because the Son doesn't like mushrooms. I wasn't thrilled with the end result; I tried using frozen squash to save time, and it got a little mushy. The sauce was still good.

*The Son made Citrus Chicken last night with Rice a roni while I was gone getting ready and performing at a concert. He did a great job--it was my leftover lunch today.

*Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup will hopefully be our supper tonight assuming I don't crash out from last night's concert. I'm using chicken thighs and some preground spices so it's not as intense as pho but will hopefully turn out well.

*Sophisto Joes is always our dish for Halloween for almost 20 years. I really enjoy that it's both easy but also fancy. It makes plenty for leftovers, and I like to eat it over potatoes or chips.
