Christmas menu
Tonight's Menu:
Goose-that's been brined for 24 hours and stuffed with onions, apples, oranges, preserved lemons and stuffing
Duck-roasted with onions inside and then stuffed with cornbread stuffing & basted in spiced sugar
Stuffing 1(goose)-homemade herbed soda bread, onions from duck, celery & cashews
Stuffing 2(duck)-homemade cornbread with cranberries & oranges cooked in and mixed with more cranberry relish
roasted brussel sprouts with bacon
rolls (homemade of course)
salad with candied almonds, goat cheese crumbles, spinach & red pears
mashed potatoes with garlic
fresh cranberry relish & cranberry jelly (homemade)
and Jen's sweet baby pickles
OMG. we cooked food to cook into food to cook into food. craziness.
it smells awesome here-I've never considered eating so many animals in one meal (I feel like we're eating the whole farm) but it's fun to cook everything-actually I really really love the satisfaction of planning out a menu for a big meal & having it all work out perfectly, which it did...even ahead of schedule.
