Well, for the first time my beloved Cravings let me down. She said that if you were only going to make one dish from the book, it should be the scalloped potatoes. And it sounds good: a giant batch of potatoes with bechamel, ham, and bacon. Problem one: five pounds is a LOT. I should have halved the recipe (also, for the first time ever I sliced myself with the mandoline. Can't blame the recipe for that). The bechamel was way too thick, even after I added a lot more milk. It took about a month too cook, and was kind of underseasoned. True, I omitted the ham and the garlic salt (I don't like garlic in cream sauces), but...
Anyway, it is only OK and there is so much leftover. I'll try again at some point. We also had some kielbasa and some green beans cooked with garlic and diced tomatoes.
