Continue reading →: Papa Bear’s Spaghetti
So my Dad, or Papa Bear, as I’ll call him from now on- he liked to reference our family as The Clan of The Cave Bear, after a novel in the 70s or 80s that I haven’t read but have heard of, and he being the Patriarch used to refer…

Continue reading →: Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine!
So, here we are about to embark on today’s epic challenge- and it became epic when I decided to do a main, two sides, and bake a cake. I’m not sure why either but clearly the excitement took over. I came back from the store and my mom was making…

Continue reading →: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions….
I used to be indecisive, now I’m not so sure…. I feel like that’s the theme of the day. Seriously, I can’t decide what to cook. I’m tossing up whether to make a dessert- and whether to do Eggnog pie or chocolate chip cake. I can’t decide on a main…

The oven door broke! I think it was the 10Kg turkey that did it but it’s nearly snapped off…..uh oh…….. On the positive side, nearly everything else is done! Hooray– almost !

Continue reading →: Update from Turkey Central….
It’s all go in the kitchen! In fact, I’m not really sure why I’m stopping to write anything– stupidity? Procrastination? Progress? One of those I’m sure…. We have a 9.9 kg turkey this year– and if you think in pounds like I do, it’s just under 22lbs. Wow. It’s like…

So, 2 of the 3 (hopefully) shops are done! And now it’s time to start cutting, chopping, pre-cooking, assembling, etc! 48 hours from now, hopefully the turkey will be on the table and people will be digging in! I’m making a miso gravy which can be made ahead of…
