Jay came over for dinner, and we all really liked the meal tonight. I love a good roasted chicken. Larry and Jay both really loved the gratin, which isn’t creamy but has lots of layers of very thinly sliced potatoes (I used my v-slicer). The pound cake is one of the better cakes from Whole Grain Baking.

That gratin got rave reviews over on CooksTalk. Sounds like a lovely dinner!
I think maybe that’s why I made the gratin. I don’t know, it’s weird because I could have sworn I had made it before – but I didn’t mark it in the magazine and it wasn’t anywhere to be found here.
