Thanks for the thread.
I have a plastic cookies press I got at an estate sale a few years back.
Love making the spritz cookies.
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This year my pescatarian daughter and also son’s girlfriend will be visiting at Christmas. Can’t wait to see them, but I’m having trouble coming up with something a little “fancy” for Christmas dinner. My daughter recently discovered that she’s allergic to crustaceans, so no shrimp, lobster, or crab anymore. I believe she can have scallops but I haven’t had much luck with preparing them in the past. What should I look for if I can find any fresh? They will likely have been frozen at some point.
Also thinking of eggplant parmigiana. I make it old school and it takes me several hours to get in in the oven. It’s pretty darn good though. Maybe I can make it partly ahead and just pull it out of the fridge or freezer to warm up.
Appreciate any ideas or suggestions others might have.
This a a great menu recipe site. For the chicken menu of poached chicken with blackberry sauce, a different recipe was posted for that chicken dish. I have included that recipe should anyone be interested. I used many of these menus when I was part of a large gourmet dinner club. I have now started a Brunch club for our neighbors, and this seems to be a popular way to get together and not cook all day.
For Christmas I am going to do lamb shanks and several sides like polenta etc. I ordered them from a local butcher and when I went to pick them up, the package said they came from New Zealand. LOL!
