Fried chicken: brined for a couple hours, then the whole buttermilk and flour/seasonings dredging thing. Oil will be infused with fresh garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme (removed before adding chicken). Deep-fried.

Mashed potatoes--w/ shallots, garlic, sharp cheddar, a little half and half, butter, kosher salt, fresh pepper.

Oven-roasted corn on the cob, in husks, then a chile-lime butter for when they come out.

Dessert--baked alaska, strawberry and chocolate style. This one I did last night, took freakin' forever. Used a mixture of semi-sweet baking chocolate and ghirardelli unsweetened chocolate in the cake mixture (more like a really rich slab of brownie than a cake), strawberry ice cream on top of the cake rounds, merengue on top of all that. Tonight it'll go in the oven at 500 for just a couple minutes to brown the merengue. I don't have any alcohol handy otherwise it would be fun to flambe with some sort of sauce. Chocolate and strawberries to garnish, with a little mint.

Some of the above come from a Tyler's Ultimate show I watched. We'll see how it all turns out.

Excellent. What time should we show up?

So when do I get invited to OhioBlue manor?

anytime you people want to stop in Cedar City, mi casa es su casa.

We'll be having mac-n-cheese that night, though.

Tonight my school is throwing an SBA-sponsored kegger. I'll be making a brief appearance for relations & networking purposes, and then going disco bowling with the singles ward.

My menu: whatever food goes with a kegger (beer nuts and pretzles?) and then the bowling alley's finest. Hopefully there will be more than mere vending machines.

Today your anniversary, OhioBlue?

Since Mike is camping tonight, I plan on making a quick pasta dish that he absolutely hates. Linguine with a sauce made from olive-oil packed tuna, garlic, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Add some broccoli, make a salad, quick and easy clean-up and time to relax tonight.
