You don't like making gingerbread cookies or don't like them to eat?

What are hay stacks?

Chow mein noodles with melted butterscotch morsels as the glue.

They come out looking like little piles of hay. The center of them is heavenly.

Kind of excited. I will be making my first Red Velvet Cake from scratch today. Having our big family holiday get together this weekend. Using Paula Deen's recipe. Since the holidays are the time for decadence. Will be using butter over margarine for the cream cheese icing though.

Will let you guys know how it turns out.

How'd the cake go?

Saturday my brother and I made sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies along with icing from scratch. The sugar cookies and icing were both pretty simple. The gingerbread wasn't bad, but the dough was hard to make use of the cookie cutters without using a ton of flour to roll it out. Still, they turned out pretty good.

Last night one of my friends came over and we put together a pretty nice salad. I also fried some chicken (no breading, just black pepper to season), heated up some tasty sun-dried tomato Classico alfredo sauce, added some mushrooms and voila - turned into a pretty delicious fettuccini alfredo dish.

She brought some Sangria with her. I'm a complete novice when it comes to wine so it probably wasn't the best pairing in the world, but I really liked the taste. It wasn't dry and it was fruity enough to give it a good smooth taste.

Making a filet mignon roast for Christmas. Hopefully it comes out as nice as the picture!

Re: The Food and Beverage Thread

Are roasts hard to do? I've never tried to do one myself, obviously, but when I have one that somebody else makes they're always delicious and tender.

No not at all! I just use a meat thermometer when cooking them to make sure they come out the perfect temperature.

Looks great Nem...I'd recommend searing that in bacon drippings before roasting.

Just don't overcook. If you like medium rare I would cook until the internal temp is about 125. Let it rest for about 15 minutes then the temp should be around 135 perfect medium rare.
