Re: (...)
I think all of our menus have been posted on the Christmas sticky, but if ya'all just want to chat - we can do that, too.
IT'S RAINING! Shouldn't complain, it's been absolutely beautiful here for a week, but that's my nature when I have to be in rain.

We're still in Riverside, CA for a few more days.
I'll be getting the 18 hour bread going as soon as He (as Lorraine says
) gets up. Then some pizza dough going and the compote/chutney/whatever sauce I decide to do for the brie.
Also, bake the beets for 2 or 3 roasted beet & chevre combinations for the next 2 or 3 days.

Since this is bound to be just a chit chat thread -
I picked up at BevMo the other day, 2 miniature bottles to play with -
Watermelon Vodka
La Poire (pear) Grey Goose
I'm off to google ideas, but has anyone used either of these for a goodie drink?

The rain seems to be letting up here. I hope. Need to dash to Marie Callendar's for a pie.

Not much happening here. Did a final clean-up on the house this a.m. A bit gloomy here, cold, and still have snow. Taking Charlie to the park soon for a good walk. When we were there yesterday, all the geese were gone and only a few ducks were left swimming in the pond.
Will be making apps after that to take to Holly's, so I'll be signing off shortly. Have a fun evening everyone!

I'm making Tourtieres today, the kitchen smells great, then a Pear Tart for tomorrow. It's snowing, and it reminds me of home!!!
Have a great day everyone.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Jean, Ashley recommends
Hippie Juice . The recipe is at the bottom. I'm not sure how easy it would be to scale down?

This is what we got up to this morning!
Here we are - home sweet home
We're going to get the mock tenderloin and duck legs ready for the smoker tomorrow (I'll pan sear the breasts). Steaks and a salad are dinner tonight. Easy.
Have a great day everyone!
