Sunday night was a great evening at the Roediger House, with Amy and Gern and Kristen and Mookie over for dinner and visiting. They are good sports about my experimentations, so I thought we ought to try baked ziti, with the remainder of my homemade bolognese sauce plus a fresh batch of herbed tomato sauce I put together that afternoon.
We are all about the buffet style serving at the Roediger House, whether you're a regular diner or if you're a rare special visitor.
The simple salads were dressed with a burger-style "special sauce" riff, à la Thousand Island dressing, from a recipe I worked out a while back. I guess I got a little silly with all the ingredients, as the picture above might suggest.
I also thought I'd try chain-Italian restaurant-style breadsticks again, which turned out decent enough. I still need to practice these more, so that I can get a more consistent shape but also do a better job with the buttering and seasoning once they come out of the oven.
