Sassy Black Friend

No more room at the inn!

Sheesh. How in the world did I survive three years in a dorm? These people are driving me nuts and it’s only been a few hours. I’ve got houseguests for three more days!How do people with big families cope?

Here’s what I’m feeding the masses:

Giant vat of roasted garlic soup
(I’m amazed to say I actually followed this recipe to the letter, but quintupled it).

The ingredients are olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, chili powder, baguette (for croutons), chicken stock, salt, pepper, parsley for garnish.

All you do is sautee the garlic and spices, brown the bread, chop the garlic and add it to the stock, simmer and leave it for a few minutes. So simple, very tasty. Recipe is from How to Cook Everything.

Turkey meatloaf: very yummy especially in sandwiches. No recipe for this, I just kind of threw random things I thought would taste good in.

Mashed potato casserole: I think I got this from Gourmet magazine but I can’t remember for sure. It’s just thinly sliced potatoes roasted with some stock until browned. Like scalloped potatoes without the cream and cheese.

Oh, and I also made a big pan of roasted veggies too.

Note to self: Install toll booth and cash drawer. Make some money, buy more booze. Don’t share it.
