MENU FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 2, 2017

The holidays are over.  Now it is back to real life and real eating.  For us and for the cats too. (They enjoyed a bit of the Prime Rib, a bit of the Lobster and a bit of the Shrimp and they have indicated that they would enjoy these on a regular basis). Yuppie cats….

The one good thing about our endless winters in the Northeast is the food. Wonderful braises, stews etc. that would be repulsive on the Fourth of July are so welcome now.  Hardy dishes like Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic (not for the faint of heart), soon an Irish Beef Stew, a Coq au Vin, and perhaps a Sauerbraten.  So, real life in these parts need not be dull, but can be delicious and fulfilling.
