Tonight was just simple chicken breasts on the grill pan with salt and pepper, more kabocha squash (which is clearly a favorite around here), and a barely-carrot kugel. The kugel was interesting. Lots and lots of carrot, with egg as a binder, and baked. It was sweet due to the addition of honey. I didn’t hate it. Larry thought it was weird and wasn’t crazy about it. The honey ice cream, though, was absolutely delicious.
