mercy! i cook those dinners for just the two of us three times a year [easter we switch to lamb or ham with the same sides xcept for stuffing]. learning to trim the recipes from 15 to 2 took quite a while - but the lefovers are great! and i am glad that we have a great orchard nearby where we can buy the traditional pies for dessert!  |
I prepare just what you state in your 1st paragraph, but included a crown roast of pork with a cranberry/blueberry/walnut dressing in the center. You know the roast with the little white hats on the ribs. Seems like it is now a chore to keep traditions alive, serving 30, preserving memories.
