Re: (...)
What's on the menu for everyone today??
I'm using my delicious turkey legs for something. I 'doggy-bagged' some great dinner rolls from last night, so probably a sandwich of some kind is in order.

I think I'm going to keep it really simple tonight - minestrone soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Going to make Cuisine's Herb Fried Chicken with black pepper gravy tonight since it didn't get made last night. Not sure of the sides yet. Might be spinach and some rice.

Easy Side Dish idea - Cabbage wedge with bacon
I’ll have to work on this a bit, but oh my we sure enjoyed it. One fairly thin wedge of Napa cabbage, drizzled grapeseed oil over, S&P, and laid a slice of bacon over top. Roasted at 375°F for 25 minutes, but it wasn’t quite right, so upped the oven to 400°F for 15 more minutes. At that point the cabbage was browning nicely and the bacon was nice and crispy. But…serving was a problem – if I cut it in half, Roy Richard would have the tougher end (
) and I’d have the nice tender part. Next time I think I’ll chop the wedges in 3 or 4” lengths and toss before seasoning and topping with the bacon.
This dish is really worth doing if you are a cabbage and/or bacon fan.

What a fun idea, Jean!
We had
Flank Steak Peperonata. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed such an easy dinner. Definitely a keeper!

Sounds good, Jean! Reminds me of the old days. Back in the day, Mom wouldn't dream of making cabbage without frying up some streak-a-lean before adding water and the cabbage.
