Christmas Dinner 2020 Planning Has Begun
The Child
This is the Way
Thanksgiving 2020
I usually start planning the Thanksgiving meal a month or so ahead of time. Even though I make the same thing every year, it’s always with subtle variation. This was my first year roasting a Mary’s Free-Range turkey and after having had one, I’ll never buy another Butterball or Honeysuckle ever again (if I can help it).
Note to self… In future, use much less white wine to deglaze the roasting pan.
This Year’s Game Plan
Making Fruitcakes for the First Time
Macerated in rum for two days, the dried fruit should taste better than the jellied mess found in stores. The cakes will be basted (sprayed) with brandy every three days and given to family (and a friend or two) for Christmas.
