the popovers weren't as light as I wanted them to be, rather hard as a matter of fact. I might have beaten it too hard


LUNCH
Leftover steak sandwich with lettuce dressed in a little vinaigrette, pickles and mustard spread.
Soup - whizzed together all the leftover roast vegetables. If too thick, add chicken broth until desired consistency  met.


even better the second time around, haha
