I’ve been craving John’s apple bread, my apple crisp, the baked cinnamon nuts we made together, my mom’s stinky steak, my famous spare ribs, lasagna, French breakfast puffs, my oatmeal cake, John’s rice pudding, my cheese ball with nuts and pineapple, and other old favorites.

I have the recipes and could probably do any of those but they make too much.

I bought the ingredients for French onion soup and a pot roast. I just don’t get motivated early enough because their cook time is too long. (The slow cooker over-night suggestion for carmelizing method of perparing the onions sounds best.)

The stinky steak is best with a sirloin steak and marinating the steak overnight.

I haven’t purchased the apples and don’t have enough nuts. French breakfast puffs and rice pudding make huge helpings.

One of these days I’ll fix one of them.
