What should I make for dinner Sunday night?
The past couple of Sundays I've been trying to stretch my wings while making dinner for Loraine. I put together an Indian dish for Super Bowl Sunday, while last week I jumped back into the world of Greek food by trying to make Moussaka for the very first time.
And, if I have to say so myself, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Even if it did take over two hours to put it all together and bake it.
But it was Greek food. And that's the important thing.
The dishes I've been making are dishes that we can't get in restaurants around here (and, just as an aside, if Marquette DID have a full service Indian or Greek restaurant, I could almost guarantee that Loraine & I would single-handedly keep it in business). I'm thinking that maybe I could delve into a German dish although, truth be told, I have more of an interest in German baked goods than something like schnitzel these days. I could also try, say, a very rich French dish or, if I wanted to show some solidarity, maybe even an Ukrainian dish.
I've also been joking recently that I should try a true Hungarian dish. Loraine's been researching her genealogy for the past couple of years, and a chunk of her family was once exiled by some German king to Hungary. So I suppose I could bake something , smother it in gravy & paprika, and be set. Or we could honor the Swedish part of my family by fermenting some fish and eating it along with jellied goop.
Well, on second thought...

I'm sure I'll figure something out by Sunday. After all, it's not like there's a whole world of food to try to make out there, right?
Have yourself a great weekend!!
