What's for Dinner, Tues., Jan. 28, 2020
Tortellini-spinach-chopped vegetable soup in chicken broth/cream base. There are also bits of prosciutto in it. Cranberry pecan bread to go with it.
For dessert, carrot cake with cream cheese filling/icing, plus chopped walnuts on the top. Of course, hot ginger tea to accompany the dessert.
Regarding the making of my ginger tea, the RG suggested I make it without peeling the ginger. I said I would if I could be sure my ginger was organic. I found some beautiful organic ginger at the grocery store, so I made it with the peel on last night. Wow! What a difference. So much more flavorful. It's so easy, too, just peeling it and chopping it into pieces, then putting plastic wrap over the top while crushing it with the heavy pestle.
FWIW, he roasts beets with the peel on them, too. He scrubs them, then covers with olive oil and Malton salt and coarsely ground black pepper. They have a smoky, earthy taste. Incredible.

Which almost never happens. Nothing fancy... a local pizzeria. We can't really afford it, but it's Al's birthday and he wants to go, so we're going.
I haven't thought about what I'd order. I'll take a look at the menu on the ride there.
I'm pretty sure beer will be involved.
Did you make enough beets for me?
