my advice stick with the plain yogurt.

Dh was wondering when you substituted the raspberry yoplait, did you omit the honey to keep down the sweetness?

Dh cooked a delicious "Crispy Tuna with Garlic" for dinner. His own recipe...

Marinated the tuna for a couple of hours in:
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. oyster sauce
1 T. brown sugar

Removed from marinade and coated in corn starch (not flour, the corn starch makes it crispy)

He then sauteed the tuna in seasame oil with garlic and then topped with the brown sauce attached.

The brown sauce was pretty darn good over the broccoli as well.

Cheese...most everyone likes cheese? Do you like goat cheese and brie? If so, dh tried out a new recipe tonight and it was delicious. He omitted the Watercress and cut way back on the amount of butter called for.

42 PEOPLE!!!!

Our last undertaking was "only" 25 people.

But today was rainy so he baked chocolate chip cookies and biscotti. Store bought cookies are for "emergencies only". Dh suposedly did a cost analysis and figured since his labor is free baking the cookies is cheaper than buying them even on sale. Needless to say the quality is a zillion times better.

What are you cooking?
