Cooking & Baking

Cocktails
Dry Beefeater martinis straight up with green olives stuffed with blue cheese. The Landlady prefers hers “dirty” with a bit of olive juice while I prefer mine clean.

Appetizer
Baked endive. The leaves are lightly coated with olive oil. Walnut pieces go on the leaves which are then dusted with grated fresh Parmesan cheese. Baked until light brown.

Entree
Grilled marinated flank steak with grilled vegetable kabobs of onions, tomatoes, green & orange bell peppers and shrimp. Spaghetti with marinara sauce on the side.

Dessert
Vanilla ice cream with vanilla wafers.

My son and his girlfriend are visiting for the weekend so it seemed like a good reason to go crazy!
