Had a fantastic dinner this evening. It was nice and warm and sunny
today - almost 60 degrees! - and I spent the day doing work in the
yard.

"Veggies in a Shell" - it's a basic popover / yorkshire pudiing type of
batter, baked in a cast iron skillet, then filled with sauteed carrots,
musnrooms, black olives, and dill. I added lightly steamed broccoli to
the mix. The original redipe tops it with Edam or Gouda cheese, but I
made a cheese sauce instead, using up the odds and ends of farmhouse
cheddar with carmelized onions, extra sharp white cheddar, and
emmenthaler from the fridge.

Pilaf with 1/3 each vermicelli, white rice and pearled barley, with
pinon nuts and parsley added in

Sliced apples, cubed pineapple, and honeybell oranges from a gift box
from a Florida orchard

Royer's Roundtop Cafe Chocolate Chip Pie - like a tollhouse pie but
even richer

mmm, sounds tasty!

probably better than my dinner (monteray chicken)

I call it supper sometimes, and sometimes I call it dinner...
sometimes I eat breakfast for both

I've eaten that pie in the cafe in Roundtop. I also have the recipe for it
(posted in the Houston Chronicle several years ago)...
