<p>DH roasted using the high heat method- a pain to turn it every so many minutes, but he likes getting so involved. Boiled potatoes and fennel, mashed together, with some buttermilk and the other usual things- delish. D2 is not an adventurous eater, so when she said it tasted “different,” just blamed it on the fact that I had used red potatoes and left the skins on. That was good enough explanation for her.
The hit was a cranberry caramel torte- not too hard; made the shell the day before. It’s on the web; from City Bakery. A keeper. Gotta be a million calories.
So, when can we start talking about ideas for the next holidays?<br>
Thanks to all for so many inspirations. As I was cooking, remembered the tip about wine or champagne- did sherry and good results.</p>
