Monday, December 24, 2007 - WEEKENDCOOKBOOK CHALLENGE #23 - CELEBRATION DISHES
Remember the show “Family Matters”? Of course, most people referred to it as “Urkel” after about season 3. Remember how Steve could enter a room and manage, quite innocently, to destroy it? He would look around at the wreckage and say, plaintively, “Did I do that?”
Well, call me Mike Urkel and the room is Sara’s Weekend Cookbook Challenge.
This month’s Cookbook Challenge was Celebration Dishes. Any dish you would make to celebrate anything – holidays, birthdays, graduations, weddings, early release from jail, etc. Whatever you celebrate – give us a recipe.
The first submission comes from Michelle at jemangelaville. She made a BEAUTIFUL Lamb Stew with Olives from Nigella. I really don’t like lamb (“Can’t get it past my nose”), but I need to try this.
The WCC founder came in with fun dish to celebrate her trip to Hawaii. Sara from iliketocook made Tasty Chicken PuPu, little drumettes with ginger and garlic.
I’m up next with one of my two dishes, another Nigella dish. I made her Chocolate Fruit Cake, a dense, honeyed cake full of black fruits – definitely a cake for celebrations.
Beating everyone by submitting over two weeks ago, Ani the foodiechickie made a muti-tasking celebratory dish - Fettuccine Alfredo with Ham and Corn.
And lastly (“Did he just say LASTLY?”), my second dish for Weekend Cookbook Challenge – Celebration Dishes. A classic Christmas dish – Christmas Eggnog.
Yep, that’s it – five dishes. So, as I gaze upon the wreckage that was once a vibrant blogging experience known as the Weekend Cookbook Challenge, all I can say is:
“Did I do that?”
