I couldn’t figure out why this post didn’t show up and it turns up it’s because when I posted it I put the wrong year in, since it’s only March of 2016 and I’m still not ready to give up 2015 I guess? I’m posting it though in its proper place for posterity and also so there’s 2 recipe posts and then a menu in a nice neat line as per usual!
