What's for Dinner, Thurs., Mar. 26, 2020

[NJCher]

Pork and pinto beans topped with grits. Also chopped onion and celery. Olive oil drizzle. Crackers on the side (club crackers, which I like to spread with butter).

Dessert: orange slices and dark chocolate.

1. I can hear the sizzle

of my mother's southern cornbread being poured into a cast iron skillet, hot bacon drippings. Cut a slice while hot and make a slit to hold the butter, thanks for the sensory experience of a great meal, made simple.

2. I made a mushroom bisque...tried recreate a dish I had at a french restaurant in Cleveland...it

was delicious. I used mushrooms, beef broth onions, garlic, dairy free half and half...fresh thyme and cognac. I also cooked shrimp in a little lemon, plant butter, garlic, salt and pepper. I made garlic bread and peas and carrots too. For dessert fresh strawberries with almond whipped cream for me and regular for hubs. I grated a Hershey's kiss on my strawberries.
