The Joys of an Empty Nest

Nat is spending 6 days a week at working at a conference center, and Charlie just started spending about 5 days a week at College Park, where is he working at his bachelors.

What this means is that we can make things that our kids would not eat.

Tonight, it was New England Boiled Dinner.

Nat cannot tolerate red meat, and Charlie hates boiled cabbage, so this sublime dish has been off our family menu.

I made some tonight, and added some things, because even if it comes with a spice packet, it's not enough.

Specifically, in addition to bay leaf, pepper, and possibly pickling spice, adding the now-obscure spice Grains of Paradise and the not-so-obscure spice Juniper berries add a lot to the mix.
