Dessert was set last week since we celebrate miss_jenith‘s birthday this week. T&M are away so I went with something I knew he wouldn’t care for though she would have enjoyed it I think. Life is a compromise.
Menu
Bake Manicotti Puttanesca
Sauteed fairytale eggplant with onions, peppers & pimenton
Italian Sausages
Homemade Ted bread
Pineapple Upside-down Cake (also from Cooks’ Illustrated)
Notes
The olives & capers that made the manicotti a “puttanesca” really didn’t add much on the first serving. Leftovers have had a stronger olive flavor, though not over powering.
Ted made 2 cakes and we ate 1.3 of them.
