We haven't decided yet, except that my husband wants me to make what my grandmother always made for my grandfather - it's called sfincione, though she just called it Christmas Pizza. It's actually not a pizza, and is a traditional working class dish from Palermo...I've seen several versions, but love my gram's the best


It's made with a thick dough, baked rectangular, with anchovies, clumps of tomatoes, seasoned bread crumbs and a cheese she called "basket cheese", but other recipes call for Caciocavallo cheese.

It sounds very different? but it is totally addictive

There is a history behind it's creation but I couldn't find the page i best remember discussing it.

There's no place like home
Still no kitchen here so I can't bake. I found one of those electric roasters for 1/2 price the other day and with my newly opened credit card, got another 15% off of it. We'll be having turkey and stuffing.

For Thanksgiving I had a cooktop. For Xmas, I have a fry daddy and electric skillet. I did successfully boil noodles in the fry daddy the other day so probably can make some mashed potatoes. Veggies in the microwave. Gravy only if I can nuke it.

I'm bound and determined to continue to cook good meals without a kitchen. You would have laughed at me had you seen me boiling noodles in a fry daddy on my bathroom counter the other night. I had frozen spaghetti sauce that was heated in the crockpot to cover the noodles. I brought it to our company potluck luncheon and nobody was the wiser.

I am just making my usual stuff, but I always get a big bowl of assorted nuts to put out with a nut cracker after Thanksgiving. My sisters always think this is the funniest thing they have ever seen.....

Yes - baking baking baking

I'm making German Sour Cream Twists, 7 layer bar, Peanutbutter cup brownies, Shrimp, and Kielbasa. The kielbasa is soooo good - made in the crock with Ketchup, Brown sugar, and JD. Just simmerin away all day long.
Oh! and I'm also making star shaped sugar cookies to decorate the little tree I bought for my mom as a table centerpiece.
Was suppose to start my baking this past weekend and just freeze things, but I got kinda sidetracked and never did it. Now I have baking and a major house cleaning to do between now and sunday.
