Carlo - excellent thread, thanks to you and all the posters! I'm going to add my family's traditional southern buttermilk pie to the thread tomorrow (and that'll remind me to try to fix it this year).
Thanks for the thread, Carlo.
This isn't a recipe but a comment about garnishing dishes.
This year, I decided to up the presentation of the food and made sure to garnish each dish. I used slices of red and green apples, with the skin showing, and various herbs and some fresh cranberries.
There were fresh flowers and several candlesticks at various heights as well as English ivy wrapped around the candlestick stems and it all looked quite. My dad always tells me that part of the pallet is located in the visual effects of the presentation and the effort was well worth the results.
I love the recipes I get off of them even when I'm on a diet. I just "revise" them a bit and enjoy!
I assumed it was dark chocolate. I received some chocolate truffles for Christmas last year, and I could have sworn there was wine in them. So when I heard about this stuff, I had to ask.
Your 2nd wife??? Hahahaa!
I thought you'd like this thread : )
The chocolate is dark, right? Carlo thinks it's white chocolate.
The memories of holidays always seem to revolve around the food, don't they?
I love Carlo's threads!
Yes. I posted to Carlo: it is dark chocolate. I am unsure if it is a cooked merlot sauce, since there is still an alcohol content.
The cooking is a connection to the past. They say odor is the strongest evocation of memory and I agree.
Carlo please add me to your ping list, love your Thanksgiving thread
Thanks Cudjo
That is a perfect story; it fills my head with images and sounds and smells and sweetness.
Write it down. It's a gift to all who read it. 8~)
Ah, the smells! Fresh pine tree, logs in the fireplace, and the smell of food : )
I got so sick of turkey, I started serving standing rib roast on Christmas.
As far as odor, I remember my Grandparents house in rural Massachusetts. The basement had solid rock walls, and I'm thinking they must have used dynamite to create it. The smell was odd, but not unpleasant. Over the years I've caught a whiff of that smell, and it brings me right back to my visit when I was 9.
Carlos your fruit cake recipe sounds more like one I had once, a secretary where I worked used to make it, and it
was called a "White" fruitcake, fruits/nuts but no colored
cherries etc, and a much lighter texture and color to the cake. Always meant to get the recipe but never did.
Talking about the Salernos, my grandmother used to take me
around the side ? and they had a counter where you could
buy boxes of broken cookies, they were so good.
I live in Atlanta now, and there are times when I would
kill for a REAL Kaiser roll, or decent rye bread, or a
real Danish ring.
Thanks for this thread, I sent it to my mom so maybe she
will get baking again.
My grandmother used to make these things called apricot
rollups that were great but too much work my mom says.
Hi Ma!
You are absolutely correct, with the exception of a spot of Cherries here and there, this cake is a light tan, and it fills the room with a fragrance that conjures up a Christmas picture from long ago.. A Rockwell Christmas, Really!
I just baked the hot and spicy cayenne peanut butter cookies (post 90). I'm eating one right now! This recipe just moved into our permanant recipe box. And yes, you CAN feel the cayenne zing! Thanks for posting the recipe.
HA! I love that picture of the Clintons leaving the White House with all their belongings!
Wonder where the truck is that carried out things that belonged to the White House?
