One of my favorite weekends of the year, Christmas meal preparation.
The turnips are simmering, the cannoli dough is resting , and I am currently in the process of making a pomegranate-lime simple syrup for our holiday cocktail - Pom-Lime-French 75.
Next up , Angel food cake.

Mild panic attack this morning. As I am gathering my ingredients to begin the annual tradition of making Christmas Stolen, I couldn’t find my dough hook for my stand mixer. Crisis averted, it was quickly found. It just blended in with all the white implements. 😅
Time to get my bake on.

It is that time of year, first weekend of December is Stolen weekend. Cherries and raisins have been marinating for over a year. Cannot wait to start kneading the dough. Expect to make about 20 loaves. Time to out your order in- pecan, almond, walnut.

Was in the kitchen decorating cupcakes with the help of Brenda Hanson, and started playing around with the chariot cake. Instead of my normal “2-D”, came up with a “3-D” version. Which do you like better?

This year I am bringing the veggies to my brother, who is hosting Thanksgiving.
Turnip, green bean casserole, roasted Brussels sprouts, and I will see if I can squeeze in mashed potato squash and a cheesecake.

Now that the dust has begun to settle after the wrap up of the Holiday Fair (bake and decorate just over 1,000 cupcakes), it was time to get busy in the Gray Kitchen.
First up was Gateau Unvisible aux Pom. No pictures, as it got devoured during church coffee hour right after it was sliced.
Then an upside down caramel apple cake.
Followed by a pit of chili and pan of corn bread.
Tonight was a beef stew , followed by a Black Forest Cake

Hibachi night tomorrow. I am going to try my hand at making a Japanese cheesecake. Plan is to serve still a little warm.
It will all come down to timing. Pictures to follow.
