Okay, let's hear it.

Tonight (eve)
Pan Seared Flank Steak and mustard pan sauce reduction served over wild mushroom risotto with grilled asparagus. For dessert will be a red velvet cheesecake. Well, it's more of a pinky salmon because I didn't want to add too much red food dye. I don't want to s*** red for a week. I have a couple of loaves of buttermilk bread baking as well. I can't wait for that. It's an untested recipe.

Tomorrow morning is going to be pancakes and sausage. Yes, mimosas will be served as well.

Tomorrow night will be a very quiet affair with homemade potato soup with roasted bavarian ham and cheese sammiches.

Once I make this stuff, I'll post how I did it - which is what this place is about.

My God, I love food.

Tonight will be shrimp cocktail, mashed yukon golds, and filet mignon wrapped in bacon. I'm sure there will be a veggie of some sort as well, but I'm not sure what that will be yet.

Breakfast tomorrow is going to be orange cinnamon rolls with an orange glaze (these are mine, I'll post the recipe sometime later).

I think grandma is basically making 2 meals in one tomorrow. Prime Rib and noodles, but she's also making turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc.

Should be plenty of good eats to go around over the next 24 hours....I, too, love food

The cinnamon rolls turned out fantastic. I made a double batch of this recipe, and I would make it again. I love the hint of orange in the dough and in the glaze. The only thing I would say is that I had to add a lot of additional flour to make a workable dough. At the measurements that the recipe specified it was a mix between a very thick batter/thin dough. I think I probably added 3/4 to a full extra cup (again double batch).

Tonight was a bad French dip sandwich, some runny frozen yogurt, a Cherry Coke (the highlight) and a bite of my daughter's roast turkeymeatsubstance. God, I hate hospital food!
