Back in the day, I took pleasure in posting Sunday dinners I made for the family. The family is in different places this year, but I've started cooking again and last night (Sunday) I made:
- Spinach, radicchio and endive salad
- Garlic bread with oregano
- Baked potatoes with non fat sour cream
- Roasted tri-tip, Buckhorn brand (thanks, RK!)
My 19-year old, over for the night, hungry and always broke, was impressed enough to eat a ton. It was so pleasant I thinkI may take a page from Lisa Williams' family dinner and invite friends for chow next time.

That's a good thing. Recently, Doc M and I BBQd a big pork roast ---> pulled pork and invited a bunch of people over (16).
The doing thereof took more out of me than I originally planned, but the low-keyness of it (come over and help us eat 10 pounds of mouth-watery BBQ goodness, bring something you think we may need and we're trying to make it low stress), and the food and the occasion: simply come and eat, made for a very good time.
So I heartily recommend it. Don't know that I want to do something that big again, 16 people is a lot to look after and I woulda liked to have had more leftovers than the single leftover serving.
I, too, share the Lisa Williams weekly dinner admiration thang.
