Last night J & I brought saucy kielbasa and Riley’s famous Muddy Buddy’s to R & C’s non-holiday party. You can’t get any simpler than those two dishes to literally throw together. He chopped, I poured. We took turns stirring. Simple as that. For both dishes. We make a good team.
Today, I start some of the preparations for Christmas in Maine. Twice baked Cajun sweet pototoes with salty sweet pecans served in orange shells, SpencerSpecial Stuffing with apple cider, onions and Grannies, a cranberry sauce of some kind (haven’t decided but something with fruit)…and the freezer pie that we always, always make. Mom’s bringing the bread, and another pie. I have the sweet potatoes, cream cheese, cajun spices, the nuts, the onions, butter, celery, chicken stock, bread crumbs, herbs, apples, cider, sausage, cranberries, whipped cream, chocolate chips, pie crust, cinnamon…yet, with all this food I feel like I am missing something. I’m not sure what it is. I still have time. No need to freak.
