Oh yeah! I have a blog!

Yup, I have a blog and I just noticed that it does not show the date of entry.  Which makes absolutely no sense, because it's set up to do so. All I had to do was check a box and pick a format from the drop down menu!  Even I can't mess that up!  At least, one would think I couldn't mess that up...

So, back to the point, today's entry (March 15, 2010) is long overdue.  It's been quite a few Champagne Sundays since I last regaled you with my culinary escapades.  Let's see what you missed:  Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo with Sun dried tomatoes, Chicken Parmesan, and Raspberry Chocolate Cake with a Mixed Berry & Chocolate Icing. Oh yes, all absolute successes. I wish you could have tried them, too.

Tonight, I made Beef Stroganoff.  Of course, I forgot to pick up the egg noodles, so I used what was handy: Elbow Macaroni.  Miss Dani did offer to run out and get some egg noodles, but it wasn't necessary (and she looked tired! lol).  The macaroni held up well to the sauce, which I think could have used a bit more garlic (typical Tina opinion, by the way), and I think everyone enjoyed it.  For dessert, just a simple cheese and fruit plate.  Brie and Cheddar for the cheeses and sliced apples and pears for the fruit.  It was delicious.  Of course, I enjoyed both courses with a fabulous Purple Moon Shiraz from Trader Joe's.  I definitely need to stock up on that yumminess.

Sadly, no pictures.  Too busy eating.
