First course: Salad with homemade Vinagrette dressing 色拉配香醋酱汁
Winter is here. Salad green is limited in the garden. Picked few and added some black olives. I made my own Vinagrette dressing. Salad was brought up on the table with no time at all.
冬天来了, 菜圆中做色拉的绿色蔬菜渐少. 只找到了一些, 又加了一些黑橄榄. 做了香醋酱汁, 很快一盘色拉就摆上桌了.

Side dish: Oven roast Hubbard squash 配菜红糖烤 Hubbard 南瓜
Home grown Hubbard squash is sweet and creamy. Cut into pieces and sprinkle a little brown sugar. Roast them in the oven made them so yummy and nutritional. They are very welcome in our family. Everyone liked them.
家里菜园里种的Hubbard squash又甜又面。切成稍大一点的块，撒上一点红糖和一点奶油，放入烤箱中烤熟，又好吃又有营养。是我们家的家常菜，人人喜欢。

Bread: Homemade butter milk biscuits
面包：家常快速奶油小面包
With two new born babies, time is limited to get dinner ready. I had to give up our favorite homemade dinner rolls. In stead, I made butter milk biscuits. It is simple, easy, buttery, flakey and quick. Butter milk, butter, baking powder, salt and little sugar are the main ingredients. They were delicious.
忙着应酬两个新生宝宝，做晚餐的时间很有限。我不得不放弃我家传统的奶油晚餐面包，用家常快速奶油小面包取而代之，小面包很简单，松软，奶油味很足，主要原料是butter milk, 奶油，发粉，盐和一点糖。很好吃。

Main course: Roast Goose 主餐: 烤鹅
A goose pad dry using paper towels. Sprinkled with salt and pepper. Then rubbed with butter and olive oil. Roasted it in a pre heated oven at 325F for 2 hours. Increased oven temperature at 350F for another 30 minutes. During the first baking, brush honey and lite soy sauce mixture every 30 minutes.
一只鹅洗净,用纸拍干, 撒上盐和胡椒粉, 再抹上奶油,烤箱欲热325F, 加好味道的鹅放入烤箱烤2小时, 每隔30分钟用蜂蜜和生抽酱油混合液涮鹅的表面. 然后烤箱温度升至350F, 再烤30分钟

Here is my plate. I ate it all and asked more... 这是我的盘子, 都吃光了, 还不够, 吃的不少吧......

Dessert: Homemade apple and cranberry pie 甜点: 苹果和 cranberry 派
This dessert is simple and easy to make. Apple pie is year round dessert. I added some cranberry and give it a twist. It turned out very good. It had the sweet from apple and had the tangy from cranberry.
The apple and cranberry pie before went into the oven.
这道甜点好吃又易做. 苹果派一年四季都适合. 我来了个小变化, 加了一点cranberry. 效果还不错,既有苹果的清香, 香甜, 又有cranberry的一点tangy. 很棒.
