My Favorite Foods

Today is cooking day in the Cactus household. It's raining, so it's a perfect day to start the Christmas lasagna, made with homemade sausage (one of our friends makes their own sausage! very, very good!), homemade tomato sauce and lots and lots of ricotta cheese! So, in honor of all that, here are some of my favorite foods. (Again in no particular order.)

  1. lasagna
  2. pizza (of course!, no anchovies)
  3. spaghetti
  4. a Ruben sandwich
  5. roast pork tenderloin
  6. turkey with all the trimmings!
  7. a good hamburger
  8. Shepard's pie
  9. steak and baked potato
  10. green beans (I love, love green beans.)

What are some of your favorite foods? Let me know!

On the knitting side, not much is being completed around here (see above cooking). I'm still working on Stella's Hat from Knitting School Dropout and my embossed leaves socks (why they're taking sooooooo long I don't know). And the Fetching, I ran out of the yarn that matches the dark blue Utopia hat, so I'm trying to figure out something...I'll let you know soon (I hope).

And the kids are home on their first day of Christmas vacation today, so...well, you know how it goes!

Sounds yummy at your house, what time is dinner? :-)

I love seafood, almost anything, not into octopus, but squid is good, love love shell fish, crabs, shrimp, lobster, whatever if it lives in a shell and resides on the ocean floor I'll eat it!

Roast pork...mmmm....that's on the menu at my house for Christmas. I use a recipe from Epicurious that has pancetta on top - so good. Lydia
