Twenty-ninth Sunday

Twenty-ninth Sunday: The Original Menu
Fruit cocktail
Fried chicken, cream gravy
Potatoes au gratin
Buttered beets
Stuffed tomato salad
Hot biscuit
Fresh peach ice cream
Angel food
Coffee

The fruit cocktail is equal parts of cherries, bananas, pineapple and peaches, cubed and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I love fried chicken! But it's not that good for me, so I've decided to make baked chicken instead and to skip the cream gravy. According to the recipe, potatoes au gratin is also called potatoes with cheese.

Twenty-ninth Sunday: The Modern Menu
Baked chicken legs
Potatoes with cheese
Pickles
Tomato salad
Sliced peaches
Lemon cakes
Iced tea


Since we are a family of two, I chose chicken legs instead of a whole chicken. The potatoes are leftover red skins that needed to be eaten: I boiled them, sprinkled them with some seasoning, then topped with cheddar cheese. Since Brian doesn't like beets I substituted pickles. The stuffed tomato salad seemed a bit too "fussy" so I chopped the ingredients and mixed in dressing instead. The lemon cakes were leftover from a meeting Brian attended (and tasty!).
