It has been a nice food week here in the House of Clay. Braised short ribs were enjoyed by all (except the youngest princess) on Thursday night with rice to soak up the juices and green vegetables of some sort that escape me at the moment. In preparation for today’s race (kids did a 2K and CancerMan did a 5k), Friday night penne pasta was baked with tomato sauce and a duo of cheeses of top. Tonight, in an attempt to relive the heady days of sage we enjoy during the holidays, I devised a one dish meal (doesn’t that sounds SO much better than casserole?) consisting of sage pork sausage, cubed bread stuffing mix, mushrooms and garlic browned in the sage sausage drippings, real Parmesan Reggiano cheese moistened with a beaten egg mixed with chicken broth. Bake for 35 minutes covered, 10 minutes uncovered and you have an easy and tasty meal. So, that sets the bar high for next week. It looks like far more reasonable weather is coming our way, so perhaps we’ll fire up the grill this week. Nothing says end of January more than chicken grilled over hardwood lump charcoal, right?

The weather cooperated and Crawford set a new record. The girls had some trouble but finished. Caroline needs to stay hydrated better. I think we are taking February off and then I join Team Clay in March for my first event.

It was so cold my fingers hurt for the first mile. However if you read the menu for last week you can see why I have to run.
