Low key New Year's here. I'm just experimenting (again!) with meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner tonight. I'm going to open a can of Trader Joe's Roma tomatoes and squish some of them into the meatloaf. For the mashed potatoes, I'm using a box mix and I'm adding bacon, onion, garlic, some homemade creme fraiche, and a cheddar and Gorgonzola cheese combo. It will be a meal to remember, whichever way it goes.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to drive to my friend Lisa's to start our d**ts, but we're really expecting snow tonight and tomorrow. Naturally, my area isn't going to get any, but Lisa probably will get a couple inches. Problem is, with temps as low as they are and with the snow turning over to rain, we'll end up with ice instead. I don't mind driving in snow, but I won't drive on ice. So our plans for tomorrow may be cancelled.
In any event, dinner tomorrow is 6 colossal prawns in garlic and butter. I bought those with my birthday money and tomorrow is the day to chow them down.
And that reminds me, how would I know if the Gorgonzola cheese has gone bad? It's been in my fridge for about 2 months now.
...my brother, who is recently single texted me so I extended an offer if he had no plans...he accepted, then mentioned an old friend of ours was going to be alone so I said bring him along. GF was chatting with my sister who asked what we were doing so she said having dinner with a few friends. She asked if she wants to join us and she accepted. Bringing her husband...looks like I am working on my day off, after all...
