Yeah, the first time I was in Wisconsin and heard friends order their old fashioned sour with pickled mushrooms I threw up a little bit in my mouth. Plus, in Wisconsin you can get your drinks in to go cups. I was the designated driver that night, and the next morning discovered my car had half empty cups of nasty old fashions left in it.

Dinner was a bust. We added Mongolian beef at the last minute and somehow ended up with two of those and no cumin lamb. Plus we both spaced out and forgot to specify no bell peppers (I have a sensitivity) so I was basically stuck with eggs rolls, fish and rice. (Soup too but we saved that for lunch today.)

Finally, some latkes with guacamole or sour cream and homemade applesauce. Crčme fraîche and caviar would have been nice, but we didn't have any in the house.
And Chocolate chip, tahini, halva and cardamom cookies.

Pan fried halibut with simply salt, cracked pepper, and garlic powder.
Sauteed sugar snap peas
Oven fried wedge cut potatoes
I agree, an odd combo, but with the Covid restrictions, virtually everything is now a takeout item.

Early dinner tonight will be a birthday celebration for our 8-year old girl. She wanted pizza (what a surprise) so we're going to a local Italian place that still has outdoor dining. It's a rainy day here today, so should be fun
