October 24, 2022 Lunch - chicken Curry with Penne Pasta. Dinner - Grilled Rib Steak, baked potato and steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower with cheese sauce 

I ate granola, yogurt, milk, and raspberries for breakfast around 10:00.

Then at 2:00 I ate PPI penne pasta with chicken curry, raita, and sweet lime pickle.

Suzette came home around 4:00 and we went to the garden and harvested a bag of oregano and then Suzette harvested some thyme.

Sage and rosemary tend to winter over so we left them.

I thawed a rib steak at lunch.  At 4:30 Suzette baked the acorn squash Cliff and Nancy gave us along with several sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes.

Suzette agreed with my menu suggestion of grilled steak and baked potato.  Suzette added to the menu, steamed cauliflower and broccoli with a cheese sauce.  We made the cauliflower with cheese sauce last week and liked it, so we made it again this evening.  Suzette made a cream (béchamel) sauce and I cubed 1/4 cup of an English cheddar cheese that we stirred into the cream sauce to make a cheese (mornay) sauce.

We drank the last two glasses of the Bordeaux red Appellation Controlee Blaye.

Before dinner Suzette made pumpkin bread and baked it in the oven to conserve energy.

We watched the Antiques Roadshow and later Suzette whipped some whipped cream and put a dollop of whipped cream on a slice of warm pumpkin bread for dessert.  Besides the normal seasonings Suzette added a tsp. of ground red Chile to the batter that gave the the bread a slightly picante aftertaste.

We went to bed at 9:00 after the Roadshow and The Bears pummeled the Patriots in Monday night football.

Bon Appetit
