We will be having T-bones on the grill, a salad and some brown and serve dinner rolls. I wish I were making the Crusty French Bread. Maybe I will just freeze the brown and serve rolls and try the bread instead. I am still unpacking so I will see how ambitious I am.

Welcome back, Karen! How was your trip?
Dinner tonight will be whatever my daughter decides to make. Ron went deer hunting in Pa. so I spend a lot of time with my girls and also with my dad. Heather is cooking tonight. Oh, and yes, Ron did get his deer yesterday morning, so there will be a lot of venison this winter!

Hi Maryann! The trip was nice. Lots of family, lots of driving. We kind of try to get everyone together every couple of years sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This helps relieve the pressures of the holiday rush. Most of us have older kids and some have grandkids and other extended families. We don't do any gift giving, just conversation and evening cocktails.
We were very happy to go, but We are very happy to be home.

I'm making a new recipe I found on Epicurious - turkey cutlets with dried cranberries, brussel sprouts and sage. Only I'm using chicken.
Baked sweet potatoes on the side.

Glad you had a good trip, Karen! Still, it's always good to come home...
Yes, Jean, we will have a lot of steaks, since that is mostly what they cut, then some stew meat, and the rest is ground. Ron likes the "preacher's meat" just cooked in butter and a little s&p, with sauteed onions and mashed potatoes. I discovered last year that I could pound out the steaks and make braciole with it, with homemade sauce and spaghetti.

Oh Maryann - that all sounds so good! Your household will be eatin' high off the hog this winter - so to speak.
