What's on your menu for today??
I have two new (to me) cookbooks to play with. One, "Caviar, The Definitive Guide" by Susie Boeckmann & Natalie Rebeiz-Nielsen is the one I got the caviar sauce recipe from a few days ago. And, you ought to see their ideas for using and loving caviar.
The other one is at the complete other end of the food spectrum. "Dinner's Ready. Turn a Single Meal into a Week of Dinners" by Andrew Schloss.
The book has 52 main menus with recipes using parts of each dinner in another - it's really interesting. I'm doing Menu #25.
The Sunday Dinner (which we will have today, Friday ) -
Fried Chicken and Gravy
Anchovy Mashed Poatoes
Broccoi with Asiago
The Weeknight Entrees -
Mushroom Mushroom Soup (which uses gravy & chicken)
Warm Chicken Caesar Salad (which uses chicken)
Stir-Fried Scallops with Broccoli and Caramelized Pecans (which uses broccoli)
Potato, Leek and Goat Cheese Quiche (which uses anchovy mashed potatoes)
Probably more than anyone ever wanted to know..... But, I'm havin' fun.

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