Watched Ultimate all day, so got home midafternoon and rushed around trying to prep for the week and cook dinner. I tried a new recipe from SK for potatoes and mushrooms (apparently a Russian specialty). Fried (or in this case oven-roasted) potatoes topped with mushrooms sautéed with onion and garlic. I thought this was excellent, especially with a little leftover homemade onion dip in lieu of sour cream. And actually pretty easy. I made an enormous spinach salad to go with it (anticipating leftovers for the week) and also heated up the leftover breakfast sausage for a little protein. Dessert was not as good: a microwave chocolate pudding cake from the NYT. I don't know if I undercooked it, overcooked it, mixed it up poorly or what, but this was like a big bowl of grainy chocolatey sludge. Even whipped cream didn't help. At least Jason liked it and it did have a really good flavor. The microwave seems a bit unforgiving for baking so I think a regular old chocolate pudding cake would be better.
