New Recipes

I had my annual eye checkup at the opthalmologist today. (My eyes are still dilated, so excuse any typos.) He's such a brilliant, competent doctor, I feel well taken care of for the few minutes I'm with him. I'm good to go for another year. I mentioned K's retinal laser surgery tomorrow and he knows the retinal specialist and said he's a very good doctor. Laser surgery these days seems very matter-of-fact and no one seems to get too excited about it including people that have undergone some type of it. Fingers crossed.

Of course, I read the latest Chatelaine magazine (November issue) in the doctor's office and noticed a few recipes I liked and some I may try:
Tex-Mex shepherd's pie
Spicy coconut chicken
Petite pumpkin toffee tarts
Focaccia cranberry stuffing bake

For the record, the big light green garbage bin on our driveway for at least the past month was removed this morning, signalling the renovation is winding up.

I'd love to try the stuffing too, just lazy at the moment. Love stuffing.

Boy, did I pick a good day to stumble on THIS blog! I'm going to get my wife to try the Tex-Mex Shephards Pie. Her mom was born in Scotland, and we have been unable to re-create the pie the way they remember it. We found a bakery in Cleveland that makes good pies (but we live in Houston).

Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by, Mr Bill. I think I'm going to try that recipe too.
