Have so many dibs & dabs of leftovers, that will be our dinner tonight - I tried many dishes while our company was here.
Italian Sausage & Squash soup - this one is great, will have to arm wrestle Roy for the l/os.
Made Cheesy Garlic bread again to go with the above soup - good combo.
Apple Cheddar Bread Pudding - always good
Fire-Roasted corn Salad - had to test to see if I can use frozen grilled corn (for the baby shower) and yippee, it works!
the (deconstructed) apple pie from the last dinner review - everyone else liked it, but I wasn't crazy about it - the flavors seemed to be too muddled. I like the concept so will play with it again, I'm sure. But one thing I won't do is add the caramel (or dulce de leche) sauce to the apples - I prefer the pure apple flavor I'm thinking and just drizzle with the caramel.
The Cumberland sausage was a big hit - a little background on this one. Some friends of ours lived in England for a number of years and Bill just love this sausage. Over the years he has been on the lookout for finding it, but with no success. So, with a little digging and help with an acquaintance in England I was able to find some recipes for it and surprised him this visit. We all just loved it -
Here he is with his 'bounty' -
I fixed it three ways - smoked it, fried it, and baked it (fried and baked were recommended by all the info I found) - we loved the smoked best.
Piddle, got so carried away, had to look again to see what this thread was about..... (God, I miss my mind)
Anyway, what are you all up to??

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
