So it’s Drunk Holiday Cooking time, Part Two. Earlier I made chocolate coated cornflakes. It’s a tough recipe:
4 cups plain cornflakes
16 oz semi sweet chocolate
Melt chocolate. Temper chocolate. Mix 1/2 of chocolate into cornflakes. Then add the rest. Mix well. Scoop onto parchment paper. Let cool. Keep wife and bird away until you can package the stuff.
Now I’m making two quiches. Yeah quiches, wanna fight? One will be sun dried tomato, Gruyere, swiss and onion. The other will be Fontina, swiss, onion. Now I must go and make magic.
Magic done with what I consider minimal injuries. Cut one finger on the blade in the food processor. Burned a finger on the damn electric stove. Otherwise, good food is a guarantee.
Let me tell you the song of my people. I spent most of the day making food. Tons of food. Not only the quiche but a bunch of other food. The wife was also making food. We made pies of fruit. And pies of savor. And it’s a kind of battle with my family. Because when we get together it will be a fight. Who made the best food?
There will be passive aggressive comments. There will be shit talked about everyone. And i am so tired of it. Fuck everyone. My shit is good. I know how to layer flavors. I know how to make a pie that you would cry after eating.
So Merry Goddamn Christmas. And if you eat my pie you would cry with happiness.
Dammit, being sober, I never comment on this thread. But … pie. Mmmmm. Rich - I hope your famiglia enjoys your fine cooking and don’t let anybody near the cutlery!
God I fucking hate Christmas. What a miserable, stressful, day. So much work cleaning, cooking, cleaning again. Why do I go through this shit? I’m a fucking adult, I should be allowed to boycott this shit.
Sorta kinda getting into scotch now after seeing a friend over the holidays. He left a bottle of John Walker Black Label here and I’m sipping on some of that. Was never a fan of whiskey before, but I never drank anything halfway decent. Curious to try the more expensive stuff now but uhh, it’s expensive.
This is not a bad drink. Too bad all booze is overpriced here. I should probably save the rest for sipping. It’s the only rye to be had around here and more pricey than, for example, cheap Irish whiskey.
Wow, thanks for the link. Still never figured out why alcoholic beverages aren’t required to have nutritional information on the labeling. It has calories, so why not inform your consumers? Jerks.
