Tonight's dinner...Mike cooked...my night off...
This weekend is the Soup o rama at WFD...
What should I make?
This.....chicken and pasta
Or this? Potato Leek
Neither, I want to try something I have never made...
Thanks for stopping by!
Kathleen, i have the EXACT recipe. ( I just dug it out to verify.... yours sounded so familiar.)
ReplyDeleteMine is Verba's Date Nut Bread and was given to me by our school nurse around 1971.
It's on a date-stained (like in chopped dates) recipe card from Current.
Verba would always make her date nut bread for the faculty at Christmas. She always brought cream cheese for us to spread on the bread if we desired.
Small world, same recipe NY and MO.
After yesterday, glad you had a night off. Mike did well.
LOL, maybe Verba knows Dee! I don't know, I got it a few years ago off the net....
ReplyDeleteSo many times the recipes are the same...who knows where they originally came from....
Remember Carol said she invented tuna on rye! :)
The date bread looks wonderful and how fun that you got a night off from cooking. Wish I had a DH that could put a meal like that on the table. Your soups look wonderful too - I can't wait to see what recipe you choose to make that you have never tried...I thought you did everything :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Kathleen!
Now Marsha, you know I don't like vegetables, so all those veggie type soups...no way!
ReplyDeleteI know, how about Snowman Soup...hot chocolate! With some of those dopey marshmallows we made...:)
Want a company for tea? I love dates and I love nuts (not meaning you, cf course) ;) Thanks for the recipe, Kathleen - it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSee you at the 'Soup-O-Rama'!
K, Mike did a nice job on dinner! Your breads look good. Looking forward to the soup you choose!
