TJ's Crystallized Candied Ginger- what to do?
I keep a box in my nighttable....it is my front line bedtime snack. Keeps me out of the kitchen when my resistance is dwindling at that dangerous hour when ice cream beckons.
Sauerkraut and Turkey
absolutely. It is the "sour" to balance all that soft--delicious-- stuff that makes up Thksgvg dinner. We never have any turkey dinner without saurkraut---a little turkey gravy on top, delicious. I am from Baltimore and presume it is the German/Pennsylvania Dutch influence.
New Year's Day open house -- menu ideas & critique pls
My concern about an open house is "what will I do with the leftovers"....just in case the expected guests are fewer in numbers or not hungry.
Your menu sounds wonderful, more like a buffet dinner than an open house in my part of the world. People seem to prefer food that is easy to nibble rather than something that requires forks, knives, plates.
Alas, the picky eater will always be with us and may indeed need a personal guide to the offerings.
