To fuck or to cook?

Because I looked on my large Pyrex measuring cups (4 and 8 cups) and didn't see metric measurements. I didn't remember that the smaller measuring cups have metric units where the larger ones have American to American measuring equivalents.

Odd. All of my liquid measuring cups (2 and 4-cup Pyrex; 2-cup and 2-oz Oxo) have metric as well as American.

Dice and saute up some pancetta (or regular old bacon); throw in a bag of baby spinach (arugula also works well), and maybe a bit of white wine or stock. Once the greens are wilted, toss in the blue cheese (gargonzola does melt better, but most blue will work). If you like, add a handfull of walnut pieces. And/or some sundried tomatoes.

Toss with pasta of your choice.

I used spinach and sundried tomato, a roux, chicken stock, penne. And the blue cheese.

I'm hosting this year, just my brother and his family. We're having the latest Cook's Illustrated turkey (salted, stuffed, and barded), possibly another variety of stuffing on the side (wild rice, apple and dried cranberry, from Gourmet), orange mashed potatoes, gravy.

My sister-in-law is bringing a chard-sweet potato gratin (Smitten Kitchen), steamed broccoli and blanched green beans, plus pumpkin and pecan pies. I think I'm also making a banana chocolate bread pudding.

How about you?

Today I made a crumb crust with Trader Joe's triple ginger cookies, as a bottom crust mostly, and filled it with a pumpkin-maple-ginger filling and then put some pecans on top and brused the top with maple syrup.

Yesterday I made the fig port cranberry sauce from smitten, and tomorrow I make a sweet potato dish and a brussels sprouts dish.

It will be me andmy parents at my place. My mom is making the turkey, some stuffing, and probably gravy tomorrow. Right now she is using my Cuisinart to make another, raw, orangey cranberry sauce. We also have a pecan tart from Trader Joe's.

We are going to the house of friends from Scandinavia. They are making chicken rather than turkey, and I also expect salmon and aqvavit. We will be bringing cheeses and port.

I don't hate American cheese, but I don't think it'll go with the port.
