Weekend Eats

Living in Vicksburg, we don't get out to eat much. But we at at home like royalty. (This month's credit card statement, with all its grocery store charges, proves it.) Here's a glimpse of Ned's lunch on Sunday: bbq ribs (a first recipe attempt, which will certainly be repeated), field peas (loyal blog readers will remember them from our weekend of shucking), and homemade French bread (we've mastered it now, and Atkins has no place in our diet). Not visible on the other side of Ned's plate: German potato salad (a recipe from One Potato, Two Potato) and whole wheat pita (eaten with homemade baba ghanouj in a separate container). Interestingly, these were all leftovers. Ned likes leftovers. Mary Beth hates them--both on principal (who wants to eat the same meal twice?) and because of boredom--what do I do with myself on the weekends if I'm not cooking? Today Ned leaves for a work trip. Don't worry; there will be no other boring meal posts this week, because Mary Beth will enjoy three days of an exclusive cereal diet.
