Funny I was just thinking I hadn't in a while!
OK- here's today's culinary crafts:
The matzoh ball soup with carrots, celery, onion, and lots of parsley
qualifies as a bona fide X-Tend-O Meal(tm) item
due to the use of Trader Joe's Panko chicken cutlets.
One day I'll write that dang cookbook... maybe ya'll will help!!
I tried a new recipe today for Gingerbread Biscotti.

I added chopped pecans to the batter and coated the bottoms in dark chocolate. Yum!

Thanks amybean, Soups are very popular with the Lady of the house, although I am the one who does all the cooking
nothing like a hearty Soup bowl & hot sourdough baguette, I also like doing thicker soupes in a bread bowl, Danish Pea soup, or even chili
OK I am getting hungry now, Damn You! amybean!

I'm back to 12 hour shifts, no cooking for me. I did try homemade pineapple marshmallows yesterday but they were an utter failure! 
I wanted to make Tropical S'Mores - homemade pineapple marshmallows on storebought coconut macaroons. I've decided instead to try storebought toasted coconut marshmallows and homemade pineapple cookies

So far so yum! Brie with jamon iberico, exotic marshmallows- who knew?
I forgot to photo dinner, so here's some leftovers- gas grilled rock shrimp basted with
fresh lemon, garlic & oil, s&p, chopped parsley. There were leftovers only because of the roasted
chicken and taters/squash which followed.
