And I'm enjoying your recipes and feeling inspired by them to cook!. <br />Your 'baccala' recipe looks pretty familiar to me, it's something we cook in the north of Spain (and in Portugal, where salt codfish is cooked in 365 ways, and they brag about it). Italian and spanish or portuguese plates are sometimes really similar. <br />Love your dumplins, pies and duck legs recipes. Yummy.<br />I'm glad that we don't have to cook for six persons this year for Xmas. So I'll cook some traditional and humble dishes, cardoon in almond sauce, or red cabbage with apples. And we'll count our blessings!<br />besos Señora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-79425763418280772172020-11-10T23:43:16.191-08:002020-11-10T23:43:16.191-08:00"My husband despises all the holiday stuff le..."My husband despises all the holiday stuff lets everyone know it until 6th January"<br /><br />That could be Jon and I! At least we're in agreement, it must be tricky when one partner loves all the traditional festivities and the other doesn't.<br /><br />For years we escaped the whole shebang by going to India, since we shifted our trip forward by a month we've gone for a curry on Xmas day with our like-minded mates. This year there will be no restaurant, we'll probably eat what we always do and have noodles! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-88257000299173636172020-11-09T19:58:06.022-08:002020-11-09T19:58:06.022-08:00The Brussels sprouts mold intrigues me.

It would make an excellent vegie one dish meal for ladies who lunch (whenever the plague ends), requiring exactly that amount of effort that shows one cares enough to please without trying too hard to impress. I also appreciate the Plan B provided: A nice bechamel does indeed effectively hide miscalculations. I like Brussels sprouts but my guests are fans of asparagus, which goes well with champagne served at brunch.<br />The mold resides in a deep storage area -- and I think the box is labeled "trifle bowl".

I had an inkling of hope that this year I could get away with it, but no ... Well, we do have some lovely vintage decorations which would otherwise go to waste!<br />I love the idea of a fish-based main, and I like the look of those meat free sausage pies! xxx<br />Polyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.com
