I'm preparing myself to deal with my in-laws tomorrow... does that count for anything? I'm making a spinach dip inside a loaf of pumpernickel bread.
Sooooo you're stopping at the liqour store too?
I'm preparing myself to deal with my in-laws tomorrow... does that count for anything? I'm making a spinach dip inside a loaf of pumpernickel bread.
I've had a house full of family since yesterday afternoon...so far I've prepared dinner for everyone, breakfast for everyone, and then bbq'd for everyone.
In the middle of that, I've made my cranberry sauce, lemon mold, meatballs for the escarole soup, the stock for the escarole soup, pie dough for the pies, the pumpkin pie, the apple pie, chocolate panna cotta cake, and right now, I have a loaf of cranberry walnut bread dough rising in the kitchen...it's already braided, but has yet to bake. The turkey is in the brine, and the ham is sitting in an apple cider bath. Later this afternoon I'll get the cornbread ready, make the mise en plas for the stuffing, cut the chestnuts, and start folding the meats for the antipasto platter.
I also got my nails done, had a pedicure, and rode 10 miles on my bike.

oh how funny, I saw that episode too and that's what I made. I tasted it after it came out of the oven and it is very good, a bit different from the usual that I make, so was happy to view it on TV.Here ya go.
