***weekly menu 12/30*** New Year's Week
Sat: Tri-color Rotini with cubed grilled steak tossed with parmesan & butter
Sun: Oven-roasted chicken thighs with brown rice pilaf and salad
Mon (NYE): Lobster tail Oreganata with asparagus lobster risotto (eating dinner regular time around 6 with my parents and the kids).
Having guests over later for NYE and putting out a huge meat/cheese board with a really nice variety of both. I tried to include both Italian & Spanish meats & cheeses plus French cheeses too.
The meats are: Sopressata, Milano Salami, Serrano Ham, Chorizo, and Chianti infused Salami.
The cheese are: Manchengo, Fromager D'affinois, Pecorino Crotonese, Humboldt Fog (Goat), Italian Sottocenere, & Cinco Lanzas.
The board will be littered with sliced baguette drizzled with olive oil and sea salt, warm castelvetrano olives marinated with citrus and herbs (ala Salumi), calamata tapenade, hummus, orange fig jam, quince paste, hazelnuts, almonds, sliced apple, pear, strawberry, and grapes.
I'm more excited about the board than I am the lobster 
eta: For dessert we have a ton of leftover cookies & homemade chocolates from Christmas and I bought a nice piece of baked ricotta with lemon. mmmmm Oh and spiked eggnog with vanilla ice cream
Tues (New Year's Day): The leftover board will come back out and we're doing a day of apps. Wings (buffalo & bbq), potato skins, pizza bagel bites, carrots, celery & blue cheese.
Wed: leftovers/detox lol
Thurs: Shepherd's Pie
Fri: Pizza

spanish cured meats with manchego, fig jam, and toasted baguette
olives and pickled vegggies

I am still using up the remains of a ham I made on 12/23 (hence the quiche and the lentil soup). that $36 ham has gone a LONG way!!!
also, since we are soon to plunge over the fiscal cliff, I am going to be working A LOT of cheaper eats into our menus this year!
