Hello one and all,
This started out as a fun adventure, and it is so exciting to see that lots of you are reading, and hopefully going out and trying some of these foods I would have passed over once before! I have really enjoyed the feedback so far, and please feel free to comment on the post your ideas for foods i should try in the future. I have adjusted the settings and you do not need a google email account to comment now, so bring 'em on!
However, I am in between places at the moment, flooded out, without a stove and with plenty of woes, so there will not be any new food blogs until after the New Year.
In the event of this unlikely delay, I am going to leave a list of seasonal items you should ALL try to taste, and instead of avoid at the buffet tables this holiday season:
1) Marzipan. Unless you are allergic to almonds, then I promise you will really really like this. Marzipan desserts are not ancient like the shaped fruits your grandmothers used to eat. It's made of a sweetened almond paste, and has a nice smooth finish to it. Try rolling marzipan balls in chocolate and gifting them as truffles. I personally like to use it rolled out in a black forest cake, the almond compliments the kirsch beautifully. It's about as festive a food as you can try.
2) Try adding Brandy to mulled wine. It tastes even better, and gets you even drunker, there is no discussion here!
3) Antipasto. It looks like old Italian salsa, but really it is everything delicious about the cheese and olive plate all in one convenient scoop. If you are really lucky like myself you will have some homemade available to you it's extra MMM!!!
4) the outside of the brie: now some people just don't like this by nature, however if you are at an open house, the very good quality bries have an incredible tasting rind, much more complex and flavorful than any other cheese you will find
Those are my four legitimate seasonal enjoyments, I hope you try one of them yourself, and have a wonderful holiday season!
Stephanie
