Jason seemed like he really wanted to be involved with dinner, so I suggested mini calzones. I am normally only somewhat of a fan, but these turned out unusually well! I don't know if the filling (a whatever we had in the fridge mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, peppers, onions, spinach, garlic and salami) was extra tasty, or if it was brushing them with a little butter and a splrinkle of salt before baking. Anyway, very good, and we froze half for another night.
For desssert I made a rum cake (from Food52) that I have made a couple of times before.It involves a box of cake mix and a box of vanilla pudding mix (weird); what makes it tasty is the rum glaze and the coating of toasty nuts on the outside. My box mix called for a cup of oil; I subbed in a cup of melted butter and I think it was a little on the dry side? Plus, i can still taste that cake mix-y taste that I don't love. Anyway, we still put away quite a bit.
