Re: (...)
It's 3a.m. And I'm getting sicker than a dog! Had to get up to breathe. Roy & I seem to be passing this darn cold back and forth. So, we're heading home later this morning.
Anyway, what's for dinner for everyone?

Oh Jean! That's a shame! I hope you feel better soon!!
I'm making that stuffed pork tenderloin today. I have a knife that will go at least halfway through and a wooden spoon handle to open up the hole.
I had no idea there were so many choices for brie - mild, medium, and intense! What brand did anyone who made this before use?

Jean, what a rotten thing to happen! I'm so sorry you have to go home early. Last night I made a pot of my mom's spaghetti sauce. Today, I decided to try my hand at making meat-filled ravioli, something that has always been intimidating. The hunters are coming home tonight so I want to have something hot and tasty ready for dinner. During the cold months, I prefer cooked vegetables, so will roast some eggplant, onion, yellow squash, and red bell pepper instead of salad.

I'm so sorry you have to cut your trip short, Jean! Get well soon!
Maryann, what a great idea with the roasted veggies instead of salad. I think I may do that tonight with our steak!

Daphne, I don't know if you have your own method or not, but here is what I do. Cut your fresh veggies into chunks, toss with 1 to 2 T. olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. Then all you have to do is roast at 400° for 20 minutes, checking after 15 min. in case they need stirring. I pull them from the oven when fork tender.

That is really too bad Jean, I hope you guys feel better soon. Barbara, I used President brand of Brie, I think it was mild. I'm making it again on Tuesday, but using Boursin instead. Carylann is making pork ravioli with a mushroom cream sauce for dinner. I'll finally get to use the ravioli attachment for our KA.

Blane, I got that brie log at the store. I'll bet Boursin would be much better than brie. Let us know how *messy* the stuffing goes. Barbara

Barbara, I couldn't find Boursin with the garlic/herbs, but I did find garlic/herb goat cheese. My plan is to roll it into a thinner log, partially freeze and insert. If that doesn't work, I'll pipe it in like Jean suggested. I'll come back and give the results.

Jean, Sorry you are not feeling well, but look on the bright side: it's happening early enough that you should be better in time for Christmas.

Bummer Jean! That's too bad.
