I ended up cooking nearlyyy everything for my fam's meal (sister did the stuffing & green bean casserole).
I made: mashed potatoes, rosemary baked tempeh, roasted brussels with cranberries and walnuts, mac n "chz," and a chickpea broccoli rice casserole.
ALL VEGAN ANDDDD GLUTEN FREE (because my tummy is dumb and doesn't like gluten anymore). Veganizing things is pretty easy peasy but to do the whole thing veg and gf did take some careful recipe and ingredient selection. All turned out great!
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I had my first drink in over two months last night - a glass of Prosecco. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Now, I think I’m going to wait until Christmas to have another drink.
it's kouign amann day. dough is rising. butter block is chilling. it's like mid-40s out and i've turned the heat off to keep the apartment cool.
pretty sure our neighbors hate me for all the noise when i was beating the butter into submission.
i'm very afraid of any of claire's recipes rated above 3 in difficulty, but they look so good. please share when they're done!
don’t be afraid! Her directions are so well-written and the step-by-step photographs are perfect supplements. Seriously they’re better than ANYTHING in my textbooks from culinary school.
I just finished the first two turns and got the dough in the fridge. Will def share when finished.
Update: there's sugar everywhere but they are formed and having a final proof before heading into the oven.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, what’s everyone’s Christmas traditions?
We always to tamales. During a normal year, we would do red chile pork for the meat eaters and green chile cheese for the veggie crowd. We’ll usually do some other New Mexican dishes, like calabacitas or enchiladas. It wouldn’t be Christmas without biscochitos too!

My mom always makes lasagna on Christmas Eve. The few Christmases in the past that I’ve spent away from the family, I’ve made one. Last year, my brother spent Christmas with his wife’s family, and her mom bought him a frozen lasagna to keep up the tradition for him. My mom and brother are both going to spend Christmas with my sister-in-law’s family this year, but I’m staying here, so I’ll be making my lasagna again.

ex-wife and the chirins used to make and decorate lots of different types of Christmas cookies. In the past, we'd go to my little brother's on Christmas Eve (required bringing him some booze since they cook everything) and then going over to my parents (RIP) for Christmas lunch/afternoon dinner before the extended family get together. Recently, we've been making breakfast on Christmas morning and trying to do it with some additional flair* since it's Christmas (mimosas, blueberry sauce, baking the bacon instead of frying, etc.). Not sure what's happening this year since I'm basically not doing shit with anyone else except my own immediate family.
we used to do christmas eve at my grandparents house before they passed away. my meem (who was allergic to fish) would make the feast of the 7 fishes for everyone. my sisters and i didn't eat fish, so she would made an entire separate pasta dinner for us. i still miss her cooking so much. i've worked through the holidays for the past few years, and was excited to actually be with my family this year. that's obviously not happening anymore, so i have no idea what i'll do for christmas eve/day dinner. i'm currently doing a practice run of some vegan cinnamon rolls for christmas breakfast though and they smell delicious.
We don't have dinner tradition, but I always make cookies. That's really not a tradition since I eat cookies pretty regularly already.
i usually bake lots of cookies and make treat bags for my family, friends and coworkers. i'm not sure if i should even do it this year because people may feel uncomfortable receiving food gifts dropped at their door.

We usually make tamales but definitely not doing it this year since it's usually a dozen family members making them assembly-line style at my grandma's house.
We also randomly eat lasagna on Christmas Eve, so I'll probably invite my parents over for that since they're the only people in our bubble.

My mom usually makes those Hello Dolly cookies which are just a mishmash of like coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and a couple other forms of sugar and I eat too many and they make me sick.
Oh yeah, I make my grandmother's banana bread and used to give it to coworkers along with cookies. I don't work anymore, so I guess I'll make it and eat it.

So this is some extremely dumb shit but has anyone else been gravitating toward spicy foods because of the COVID smell/taste thing? I think I've been eating extra spicy stuff to reassure myself that I haven't caught it yet.
wouldn't you still feel the spicy though? like an all pain, no flavor type situation.
? Good question, but I'm sure part of the "pain" is related to sensory interactions with taste and smell. It doesn't mean you won't get stomach or ass burn later, but I wonder if you can taste the spice without the ability to taste it. I don't know.
-------------------
And to answer Carol's question, no. I like spice (be it hot or not) on pretty much everything I eat. I don't want to go as far as hiccups, but I'll take some burn on almost anything. The only cold water thrown on that is my oldest's GF (who is 1/2 Columbian) can't handle spice.

the pain from spicy food is from capsaicin. it tricks your body into thinking it's on fire. it's why you feel pain when you rub your eyes after prepping chili's barehanded and forgot to wash your hands. there's also some over the counter creams with it in them for muscle pain and soreness. capsaicin is a very interesting little compound.
unrelated: beebee, Claire's youtube channel launches tomorrow! she'll be featuring recipes from Dessert Person.
We'd always spend a day (or two) making cappaletti and ravioli from my great-grandma's (italian immigrant) recipes. Christmas Eve dinner was a big italian meal (pasta, sausage or some italian beef, ravioli). Christmas day was a big pancake/bacon/eggs breakfast, and we'd feed off leftovers and cappaletti soup the rest of the day(s).
I don't have enough hands (or counter space) to do that this year, so probably just going to make some spaghetti, and maybe try to bake some bread.
If you were going to add a third spice or condiment to the salt-pepper duo, like from now on every restaurant table also has this on it, what would it be?
I'm thinking garlic powder, but that would probably ruin the fabric of society via rampant bad breath. Maybe paprika? Ranch? Ketchup and mustard are sorta the next two up, I guess. Or vinegar.

I put cumin in lots of stuff. "Creole seasoning" would be useful.

cayenne pls
Could replace black pepper, tbh.
I think I like soy sauce more than table salt, also.
