since my in-laws are out of town, i'm making steaks for my husband and I.
they are marinating in a bacon fat/maple syrup/orange juice mixture
deep-fried sweet potato slices, potato salad (my husband's grandmother's
recipe), and steamed asparagus are what im planning as sides (i know; two
kinds of potatoes. but i promised my husband :>)
banana bread for dessert, if i get around to making some :>
