Hi Dave,


 DD> I'm doing Greek for my New Year's supper. It's a fiddly, time
 DD> consuming dish to make .... and I'm sure there will be  some leftover.
 DD> But, then, I like plan-overs. I don't have to work today, I don't
 DD> watch jockstrap sports on the glass teat, and I have all the stuff
 DD> at hand .... what's not to like?

 RH> I'm doing lentil soup today with the last of the Thanksgiving ham bone.
 RH> Will still have a quart of ham stock but this will use up the meat. A
 RH> front went thru last night, cooling temps down to the low 50s so it'll
 RH> gaste extra good.

 DD> We're scheduled for a blast of Arctic air. So far we've that about 3
 DD> days when the temps are below freezing. Now, according to Accuweather,
 DD> Weather Channel and Weather Underground it will be 10 or more days in
 DD> the teens and twenties. Gonna make me apperciate the heated seata and
 DD> steering wheel in the Beemer. Now, if I just had a remote start like
 DD> my little HHR had ..

We're on the very edge of the cold air, more to come. Supposed to get no
higher than the mid 30s for daytime temps by the middle of next week,
slight possibility of snow. We have the heated seats in the F-150, not
sure about the steering wheel. Also do have the remote start which has
been nice. Had that on the Frontier also.


Guess I'll be making a few more "rib sticking" meals over the next few
days; got beef stew planned for early next week. It'll be my "regular"
stew, no pot au feu this time.


 DD> I'm making (planning on plan overs) a double batch of this recipe and
 DD> in my casserole crock-pot instead of the oven to "finish". I'm sure to
 DD> be "suffering with comfort" by bedtime.  Bv)=


 DD>       Title: Meat & Potato Moussaka
 DD>  Categories: Lamb/mutton, Beef, Potatoes, Cheese, Dairy
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 RH> Some for the freezer for a quick meal also?

 DD> Like I said - plan-overs. They're sucky-bagged in individual servings
 DD> and in microwaveable containers. Five minutes in the nuker and BINGO!

 DD> It's supper.  Bv)=

 DD> There's a red sauce Moussaka, as well. But I figure if I'm going to do
 DD> that, why nt make a real lasagna instead?

I do the lasagne my MIL taught me how to make, quite a bit more fiddly
but well worth it. Maybe I ought to make it up into one meal's worth
amounts; it would be more work initially but so much easier if we want
lasagne later on. (G)
