At that point it was edible.\u00c2\u00a0 Kidlet and I enjoyed it.\u00c2\u00a0 DH was ill and sleeping and didn&#8217;t try it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/0131.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1138\" title=\"013\" src=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/0131.JPG\" alt=\"013\" width=\"368\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/0131.JPG 1024w, https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/0131-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Linked to the Food Netowrk Cooking Challenge at <a href=\"http:\/\/iblamemom.blogspot.com\/\">I Blame My Mother<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out more <a href=\"http:\/\/iblamemom.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/fnccc-week-13-dave-lieberman.html\">Dave Lieberman recipes <\/a>this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 13 &#8211; Dave Lieberman I forgot last week was an off week, which is a good thing.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been sick this week, and probably wouldn&#8217;t have gotten my recipe made.
