Tomorrow's menu

It occurs to me that I don't really have a foodie icon. {EDIT: Fixed}

So, I'm still tweaking tomorrow night's menu:

- whole roasted chicken, following [livejournal.com profile] anita_margarita's advice
- mashed potatoes, or perhaps I shall salt and bake them
- butternut squash cubed and baked with diced apples, sweetened with agave nectar
- a salad with lots of the leftover fixins from Friday's luncheon

I need to keep it on the healthier side for Dad.

For dessert, I have two slices of chocolate-covered pineapple left - one for Mom, one for Dad. (I forget if I mentioned that one of Dad's customers sent me a box of chocolate-covered pineapple slices for helping him with a spreadsheet.)

I promise you: roast chicken is easy; if you have any leftovers, they are useful in oh so many ways. And it is lean (if you remove the skin) and healthy.

Gary used to be proud of his BBQ or fried chicken - but he has now admitted that roast chicken is the way to go.

And butternut squash is so NOM. Let us know how it turned out. I have some agave nectar that I bought for when a diabetic was supposed to come to dinner and didn't - so it would be good to have a delicious use for it.
