It was Fragile's First Birthday!  Since our boy came to us by way of Louisiana, we thought Cajun Sloppy Joes would be a fun dinner! We added some other regular favorites... Jo Jo Potatoes with homemade ranch dressing and Broccoli Slaw. His girlfriend came over and even brought him an iced cookie and balloons!  The grownups had Creamscile Cake .    It was a great day!

We enjoyed Mustard-Onion Pork Cutlets with noodles and rolls.  It was a bit of a beige meal and a tad sweeter than Tigger enjoys, but tasty as usual. Rabbit's bar-tending skills had Eeyore trying to focus!

Happy New Year!!!  We started off with lighter fare, just to keep those resolutions going... Lemon Chicken with Artichokes and Potatoes was the choice.  It didn't seem quite enough to our Eeyore, who added a crunchy panko crust- Yum!

Another year of good times and good eats ahead!

Final PD of 2012 and Eeyore picked her own challenge... Chicken Pot Pie was a strong end to another great year!  Eeyore made a great crust ahead of time... true lard included.... yummy and flaky. We used this recipe - originally for two, but it mutplied easily for our crew.  Chicken neslted into the sauce very well! Merry Merry to all and can't wait for 2013!

Skillet Carbonara Casserole was another crowd pleaser and we even had a guest diner... PJ joined us before he, Tigger and Piglet headed into town for a musical evening.  We used pancetta in addition to bacon and of course panko for our crumb topping... YUM!

Oh my goodness this was yummy!!  Salisbury Steak was just perfect and it was destined to be enjoyed with mashed potatoes and green peas. Used the bottle of Madeira from an earlier meal, rather than buying a bottle of port and we were very pleased with it all.
