So I made brunch instead. Only three of us, so I didn't get too elaborate. I didn't even create any new recipes. I kind of modeled it after a tea, but with breakfast and lunch items. I made a platter for build your own cold cut mini sandwiches, some latkes, a kale and white cheddar frittata, bacon and apple cinnamon rolls, and a keto rosewater-pomegranate cheesecake. The guests brought grapes. The goal was minimal leftovers, aka lunch for the rest of the week.
For my own dinner that afternoon (when you're a baker, dinner is around 3pm), I visited the new 99 Ranch that opened a reasonable distance from me. No more trekking 20 miles. The main dish was chicken with home-canned sweet and sour sauce, with vegetable fried rice and gingered bok choy for the sides. Totally basic stuff that didn't require a trip to an ethnic market. After putting some frozen egg tarts in my cart, I found a packet of 24 tart shells in a different freezer section for $5. Maybe on a different trip.This is just the bok choy section |
