[Sca-cooks] Happy Holidays....

[Kathleen A Roberts]

holiday yummies?

standing rib roast with horseradish crust, scalloped 
potatoes with anchovies, carrots roasted in the pan, 
sauted shitake and button mushrooms w/sherry.

love that crust!  didn't make anything salty.  still 
eating beef... we got a wonderful deal on a huge standing 
rib thanks to all of the meat we were buying for our 
event.  nice head of meat department at the local sam's 
club.

taters were a bit wet for my taste, didn't seem like one 
can of anchovies chopped up was enough, and needed more 
pepper and oddly, salt.  still good tho.  a simple dinner 
for two.  the pups and cats will be enjoying roast-fat for 
a week!

loot?

i got that before midwinter feast... new food processor, 
some pots, mini-processor, another electric roaster.  my 
students gave me some lovely jewelry (mundane, too).  and 
another (!!!!) leaping stag cookie cutter.

no family, so that makes loot given out easy, tho handmade 
(not by mine) soaps and these cool round 'bomb' shaped 
ceramic lamps we found (don't be surprised to see an 
insurrection (complete w/ holy hand grenades' coming to 
your kingdom!  hmmmmmmm, estrella is coming up....... 
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

i have off work until tuesday, so the xmas cookies and 
fruit cake (don't start.... ;)) will be made this week. 
 they will still taste the same.... and i have another 5 
cases of green icing to go thru... (don't ask....)

cailte
mebbe pizza tonite... you can only eat so much 
beef................
