Holiday Food Disasters
Thanksgiving is next week…I know it totally crept up on me too. I am so looking forward not only to a short week of work but also the enormous amount of food that will be waiting to be eaten on Thursday.
So it got me thinking about a dinner party I had last year for 9 poeple…on a thursday night…yeah it was a bit stressful but totally worth it. Everything went off great until we got to dessert, after taking a sample slice of creamy pumpkin pie, I realized i totally left out the sugar. In my haste I totally looked over one of the most important ingredients. So to try and play is off, I insisted everyone add lots of sweet whipped cream to the top. No one said anythign btu I always wonder if anyone knew of my mistake.
So now it’s time for your confessional, let it out, let me know what you have done during the holidays that may not have been so domestic goddess-like…but more of a Fallen Souffle

My biggest Thanksgiving mistake was just a huge judgment call gone wrong, not necessarily a forgotten ingredient or overcooked product.
I’m not a HUGE fan of cooking foods with bones, which reminds me that the food I’m preparing used to be a living animal… I eat it, but I prefer not to prepare it. (yes, I know…)
So one year, I decided to serve a beautiful pork tenderloin instead of a turkey. The meal was beautiful and everything was exactly how I envisioned it.
But I still haven’t heard the end of the teasing for not serving turkey on Turkey Day. Bad idea!!
