I made (little red) beans and (that weird Italian) kale for dinner tonight, along with mushroom risotto. Yesterday I made ginger-tahini-dressed broccoli, Lebanese chicken, and a squash, goat cheese, bacon combo stirred up with pasta. Some of those recipes I have been carrying around since the 1980s, and so I finally decided to make 'em.

After dinner tonight, I also made that gingerbread recipe you introduced me to, but it failed. I tried to mix the butter and molasses together with just a spoon, but because I have a tendon problem in my right elbow currently, I was imprecise at it. So I think that was part of the problem and the rest of the failure was caused by using a just-slightly-too-big pan. Pity.
