My Mum has really jumped on my wanting to learn how to cook and this weekend throws me into the deepend - it's Thanksgiving! No, I'm not responsible for the entire meal, but I have been instructed on it all (including top-secret recipes!!) and was able contribute today in a few ways. Specifically I have made the 'top-secret' stuffing and the Apple Crumble desert.
Stuffing So I can't tell you what went into the stuffing, but I can show you a photo of it and some 'epic' proof that I made it (yep, in true form there I am cooking in my pj's!).
I can describe my Apple Crumble experience as it's pretty easy. However, I can't give measurments as once again it's a 'secret' family recipe. So, dear readers (if there are any!), your task is to try figure out the ratios yourself, if you so choose to make this crumble!
Apple's, either from a can, or peeled, cored and cut into crescents, layed out with some cinamon sprinkled on top.
Crumble = mixture of flour, butter, sugar and salt. Yup, that's it!
I tried something new this time and did an 'Apple Crumble Sandwhich' - crumble on both sides. I'm expecting it to be mega sweet, so will serve it with vanilla ice cream. Hope it's good! Will update later!
Also, for any special occassion with my family a special table is layed. Today I did a 'reverse' thanksgiving table - I used all stuff remembering our 'old world' life rather than 'new world' stuff. The placemats, coasters and drinkwear are all from Africa.Update:
Well, the stuffing was too runny, so have to alter that recipe. Ah well, everyone said it was tasty. I'll take their word on it as I don't eat it myself! The crumble seemed to be a hit... perhaps it will be my new 'thing'? Hrm.. we'll see. I'm so stuffed right now, can't really think about it!
