http://smittenkitchen.com/2011/11/dijon-braised-brussels-sprouts/ for Dijon-Braised Brussel Sprounts. Sounds and looks yummy in the photo. As I tend to have at least 10 other items to cook for our meal, I think I might make this earlier in the day and heat it up. What dishes do you do to make the preparations easier on yourself?
The only thing I've made in advance so far is the stuffing. I'll be doing the mashed swede and carrot later on, and the peel pots tonight.The dishes I've yet to make are -
mashed pots and roast pots
yorkies
braised red cabbage (will this taste nice re-heated?)
steamed broccoli
onion gravy (with meat juices added in later)
and a goose to roast :P . There may be another roast meat dish depending on whether i'd find one later at the s/m if i do decide to go to find some bargains later on (tho' such a palaver really!)
So are you all, all set for the Big Dinner tomorrow?
::) i'm not really, just can't be bothered right now. been tidying my drawers earlier today. got up at stoopid 5.30am and decided it'll be nice enough weather judging by the stars i could see in the dark sky this morning (now it's so lovely!!) for a clothes wash to be done. Meant to be making a cake later, but can i be bothered to search for a recipe ::) and i wrapped the final of my presents (hate wrapping).
oh dear, i do sound like ebeneezer, don't i? I can't wait to eat the dinner, but i know, i'll be so knackered from making it all day tomorrow, i won't have the appetite to even half of what's on the plate. i could eat one now if it was made for me, but i know that i won't get the standard of cooking anywhere else except my own!
xx ;)
