My car looked like this during the blizzard on December 19th:
So, I made chocolate chip cookies and this...
Mug cakes in less than 5 minutes!
Microwave for 90 seconds, or a little less, and you have fluffy cake deserving of a snow day. I would probably subtract some sugar next time, but otherwise, a decent recipe.A few days later, I made yeast rolls from a great book: Mama Dip's Kitchen. Mama owned a fabulous restaurant by the same name in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which is a MUST visit if you are in the area. The book, unfortunately, does not list a few essential items including *cough* the oven temperature - so do yourself a favor and search on epicurious for yeast rolls.
Was my Christmas held in the freezing, snow-ridden, rainy, windy Maryland region? Heck, no! We flew ourselves down to Florida and enjoyed a lovely, green and warm Christmas. We even enjoyed champagne, beer and nibbles on the beach! I felt like Ina, without the assistance of her table-scape decorators. And sans hydrangeas and over-sized denim shirts.
My mother, who seriously needs to start her own food show, cooked up quite a feast Christmas evening.
Prime rib, asparagus, yorkshire pudding and buttery mashed potatoes. For dessert: ice cream sundaes with warm chocolate ganache. Wow.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. Friday looks to be an awful weather day, which means TONS of cooking!
