Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!,

I have a special recipe tip to share with you. (Sadly, this wonderful idea failed to earn me a free subscription to Cook's Illustrated but I remain hopeful...)

Christmas Cranberry Sauce:

    Remember when your parents took you to a hotel buffet dinner and you had your first molded cranberry sauce? You too can make your cranberry sauce presentation exceptionally appealing. The secret is in the mold.

    When you cook your sauce, simply pour about one inch of sauce into leftover cat food cans that you have saved for the holiday. After cooling you may unmold each serving onto an iceberg lettuce leaf.

    Enjoy!

I am seeking a recipe for latkes made from mashed potato flakes....

Its funny, but I actually get kinda nostalgic for that ribbed-bottom look on my cranberry sauce, and I am extremely unsentimental in general. We certainly never had it on iceberg lettuce; where I grew up, things like lettuce were madly, madly expensive in the winter, at least for folk like us. If you could get it at all.

My Grandmother would make this and we ate it up. I haven't had this in probably 30 years and it is bringing back some great memories of when I was a kid. I don't remember there being Cool Whip in the recipe.


FROZEN CRANBERRY SALAD

1 can cranberry jelly
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 sm. container Cool Whip
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese
Chopped walnuts
Mash cranberry jelly with lemon juice. Pour in 8 x 8 square pan and freeze.
Mix well sugar, salad dressing, Cool Whip, cream cheese and walnuts.

Pour over frozen cranberry mix and freeze again.

Nope, that's for the meatballs.

Hey, it's amazing how those grape jelly meatballs get gobbled up! No matter what else I put out, those are the first to go. Makes me rethink the effort I put into the other things! They are particularly good in a fondue pot though....keeps them nice and toasty.

One essential tip for holiday cooking: keep well hydrated. That means, if you're cooking with wine, drink some! Same goes for beer or whiskey. This helps keep the cook calm and relaxed as well.
