Maverick Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 But seriously, this is amazing! It's not to go with supper but as an appetizer that you can leave out with crackers. I can't tell you how much I love this. Shrimp Mousse is quite easy to make and you will definitely have at least two people standing next to it not being able to stop themselves from eating it. http://www.food.com/...p-mousse-164958 Oh see that's gonna be a problem. My mother is a semi-Kosher Christian (don't ask) and my husband won't eat anything that's ever lived underwater... Nothing that lived underwater? No crabby legs or crabby patties? God lord!

Janie Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Help! Help! Help! When I looked at my original list I noticed it was chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, stuffing.First, how about swapping out the chicken for a turkey? Here's a sauce to try for either bird: PORT AND CRANBERRY SAUCE(Note: I have not tried this but I ripped out the recipe page in my latest Fine Cooking magazine. I think it looks good and want to try it.)1 1/2 tsp olive oil1/3 cup minced shallotsalt1 1/2 cups tawny port1 small hot dried red chile2 cups unsalted or low-salt beef broth or stock; more as needed1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped2 Tbl cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbl cool water1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar1 tsp Worcestershire sauceblack pepper2 Tbl unsalted butter Heat the oil in a 2-qt saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and 1/4 tsp salt and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the port and dried chile, turn the heat up to medium, and boil gently until the mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the stock and the cranberries, bring to a gentle boil, and cook until reduced to about 2 cups, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the chile and discard it. Whisk in half of the cornstarch slurry and simmer, whisking, for a minute. For a thicker sauce, whisk in a bit more of the slurry; if it's too thick, add a little stock. Add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. (If making the sauce ahead, take it off the heat, let cool, and refrigerate for up to 1 day; reheat gently.) Whisk in the butter until incorporated and season to taste with salt and pepper. As for vegetables, how about doing some roasted root vegetables (like carrots, parsnips, onions and wait for it sweetscience... bacon). Personally, I skip on bread when serving stuffing/dressing. I have a good dressing recipe that has sausage, carrots and apples. Years ago I went to this cooking class where the chef made a sweet potato cranberry hash. It was really, really good and I had completely forgotten about it until just now. Anyway, if you want any of these recipes, I can pass them onto you. If you try the cranberry port sauce, let me know how it turns out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Does your local grocery store have purple potatoes? You can mash them, and they are certainly colorful! Throw in some green veggies—a salad can have all sorts of colors. Also try something red, like some simple cranberry sauce. What is their taste/texture compared to Russets? That sounds amazing and tasty but my husband has the palate of a 5-year-old and I have to take things slow with him. I was considering a cherry or cranberry compote, that would make things pop for sure. They're actually quite similar to russets when you mash them. They're just more fun looking!

If I had a place where I could dig out a firepit and roast one, believe me, I would. Why don't you head over to Oprah's estate (you posted elsewhere that you're sort of in the neighborhood) and dig your firepit/roast your pig there? She's got an assload of property that you're paying to water - she should share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
