When I asked Jason to find something for me in the freezer a few days ago, he reported that there was a "big piece of meat with some some of seasoning packet" back there. I guessed that it was a corned beef brisket that I had forgotten about, told him to throw it in the fridge, and planned accordingly. Well, when I looked this morning, it was NOT a brisket; it was the last of an enormous ham still hanging around up there. So, change of plans. Ham and macaroni and cheese. The mac & cheese was the Martha Stewart recipe and it makes so, so much. Even after freezing a third, we had tons of leftovers (I threw a couple of heads of broccoli in there, which made it even bigger). Jason felt compelled to comment on how it is made; I hate it when he watches me cook and this is why. Anyway, it is delicious, especially with the broccoli (I can take or leave ham).
Dessert was the baklava I make yesterday and it is really good. I saved the recipe to my NYT account and would definitely make it again. The only change I made was to add a tiny bit of rosewater to the syrup.
