  Re: (...)
I had a tough time deciding on this dinner, but in the end I chose the easiest recipe that I had on my list. I didn't choose a dessert this time though.
Reviews due on Nov. 4th.

Alina, I don't actually know, but probably wouldn't keep it more than a few days, but that's just me. Since it's just the two of us, I am going to cut the recipe in half.
