LA CENA DE NAVIDAD

3 lessons learned from Christmas dinner:

#1 Not to buy meat from Costco

#2 We need measuring utensils. I can make pie crust without measuring the flour, but cream filling (sugar, milk, cornstarch) is a different story. We've looked in all the likely places for measuring cups and spoons, but haven't found them yet.

#3 Crema does not whip up like whipping cream. I read somewhere that it did, but this is not the case.

The turkey breast from Costco went into the basura, but we're working with the strawberry cream pie. I'll spare you a photo.

On a tastier note, our butcher at market gave us this calendar, which is very helpful in terms of meat terminology:

How do you think "T-Bone" is pronounced?
