Pot & Cover

Scott made a rich, sausagey cornbread dressing for Christmas or Thanksgiving...I can't remember...and while it was a bit too busy for me (andoiulle is a little too strong)...Dad absolutely loved it and requested it for the road. Scott made him a batch but subbed Earl Campbell for the andouille (sp?) Every interaction with daddy is still surreal for me..and precious.  We cut the cooked dressing up into large squares and put it in a ziplock...Daddy puts it in his tiny little crock pot and sets in on low and when he's ready to eat, his food is nice and hot.  

the wrapped figs, fresh from the oven, with bubbly blue cheese Scott bought figs last night...inspired by food network 'best thing i ever ate'. He was outside grilling the steak, and one of our neighbors said hello, commenting that he was out grilling again...Scott replied that it takes a lot of work to keep up a physic ( sp ?) like his as he pointed to himself in a very self depreciating way...you probably had to be there...but that is very funny! It cracked our neighbor up any way...and me too. the figs, before they were baked The figs were delicious. Warm & soft, wrapped in slightly crisp prosciutto , topped with a little hoisin and blue cheese which was blistered and melting. They were soft, with a bit of crunch, and a balance of sweet, salty, tangy and just out right GOOD! Well done, honey! my plate, with a few slices of blackened strip steak, figs, and salad...with red wine...so delicious! We had it with our favorite Caprese salad...a simple, yet elegant meal...eve...
