Mom makes the turkey. Mom makes the stuffing. Dad makes the gravy. Sheesh.

Just because they clearly favor me doesn't mean you aren't a princess, too. |

I figured as much, but that's much less interesting than Mom#1 making the turkey, Mom#2 making the stuffing and Dad making the gravy. I'm just sayin'. |

Those little jars of mashed garlic that say 1 teaspoon equals 1 clove: they are wrong. Heaping 6 teaspoons of garlic into a dish that called for 6 minced cloves will kill your dish, and almost kill your guests too.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to remember this next time I have certain guests over.

There are certain times in life where almost is good enough.

That'll teach you to invite vampires to dinner!
I was assigned salad to bring to dinner. Salad is not my favorite thing to make but it makes the 1-1/2 hour drive better than many things. I was at CostCo on Wed. night to pick up ingredients when I noticed the broccoli salad kit in the produce cooler section: enough for 9 people and no chopping! It wasn't as good as the broccoli salad recipe I have but it was no fuss no muss.
This being Minnesota, I also made a jello "salad" with canned mandarin oranges and cream cheese.

Second, the cream of tartar and baking soda cause the cookie to rise very quickly and then collapse somewhat. The result is the characteristic crinkly top.

I thought I'd move this down here.
I just finished making the snickerdoodles. The cream of tartar really changes the texture a lot. (Somehow I've never used much cream of tartar in baking so this is new to me, like yesterday's "thunder snow.") I've noticed, as I've hunted for the perfect sugar cookie recipe (the kind that are rolled into balls rather than cut with cookie cutters), that just a little moisture, such as from lemon zest or a small amount of brown sugar, changes the sugar cookie texture in noticeable ways. Cook's Illustrated has a recent sugar cookie recipe that I tried recently with excellent results. It has 2 Tbs of brown sugar in the dough.

I love Cook's Illustrated. Their recipe for Cranberry Nut Bread is verrrrrrry good. I also got a blue ribbon at the State Fair for my carrot cake made from their recipe.
I think I'm a chef/baker groupie. Nick Malgieri is doing a couple cooking classes here in town and I'm going to take the chocolate one. I have three of his cookbooks I'll bring to get autographed. |
