Friday, 06/05: Tonight it's the All-You-Can-Eat-Walleye-Supper at the Elk's Lodge w/ Dad & Dolores. Saturday I'll be home and have to go into my night-shift a few hours early so dinner will likely be a drive-thru burger or chix sandwich...
Sunday? My sister has asked me to cook a ham dinner because it's one of my niece's favorites- and she departs home Monday morning for a week-long school trip. Since they'll be a ball-tournies all day Sunday, I'll rustle-up the vittles at my place... I love baking a huge whole smoked ham in either winter or summer, and I'm doing one this weekend, in fact. Rather than the mashed potatoes/gravy, sweet potaoes, mac-'n-cheese and other warm comfort-foods I would normally make during the cold months, Sunday I will side-step to a more appropriate cooler menu and make a selection of chilled salads to accompany the savory pig: candied sweet potato/grape salad w/ maple-mustard vinaigrette, bow-tie pasta/spinach salad w/ creamy-feta/garlic dressing, and shrimp-fennel salad w/ Sambucca-mayo. Dessert will be sugar cookies & chocolate pudding.
