The Cooking is Finally Done!!!

Tweet

Well if you are anything like me, you're totally exhausted from all the cooking that transpired this past week. I literally cooked for a week..I was testing recipes all week, making lots of things and using techniques I learned in school. I cooked a total of 5 turkeys (no waste however as I donated all to one of the many homeless shelters here in Ft Lauderdale)I made at least 6 different stuffings, adding, subtracting, tasting, it was quite a chore. Then I record every little thing as I am still toying with the idea of a cookbook down the road...The best part was the deserts..I spend 2 days making everything from molasses/ginger crisps to some very fancy pastries that are still fresh in my mind from school..There were a couple of downsides, such as, how expensive the whold ordeal was..food prices just seem to keep rising and rising and this proved to ve a very expensive holiday for us. But the upside was that we had a wonderful family and friend filled day, with enough food to feed an army. I even went to my favorite craft store and bought a bunch of holiday tins so that everyone had a little box of goodies to take home. Would I do it again??Absolutely and I'll take a week off and start allover again for Christmas..This wont be nearly as hard however as I am going to serve a Standing Rib Roast and Baked Stuffed Lobsters, my personal favorite..What about you? Did you slave in the kitchen or go to a friends or do as I used to do while in collegs and order chinese food?
