| briellethefirst Nov 23 | So it's Thanksgiving. I have 2 roommates and we all stayed home for a very needed rest. I figured an hours cutting and chopping and mixing in the morning and I'd be free most of the rest of the day. I was mostly right, I spent 2 hours cutting and chopping and mixing, but it was still worth it. I mixed up some scones, then put on a pot of mulled cider, then made a pot of chicken soup and a bunch of dressing because it's Thanksgiving and you have to have dressing. Once I laid out the cheese, crudités, chips and dip and humus I was free to do whatever I wanted, including eat. It was yum! I think I'll file this under accidental cooking successes. As I was cleaning up I found something I didn't expect. I'd had a couple of mugs of mulled cider during the day and let it just stay warm on the stove, just like the soup. After the last mug full I stopped adding cider and left it warming. When I went to clean up I found that it was syrupy. I dipped in my finger and tasted it. YUM! This would be GREAT on ice cream! So I strained it into a container for later. Of course all the stuff I strained out went into the compost. Waste not want not. It's amazing over ice cream, with or without a scone or cookies. A shot or spoonful of whipped cream is just gilding the Lilly. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
