MENU FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 14, 2011
My creative
energies this week are focused less on what this menu will be and more on what
I will feed the family next week. They
eat a lot….and Thanksgiving is the most festive day in our calendar.
The key to survival and sanity is very simple. It’s called planning. I will need to have my menu set, my shopping
lists for Monday and Weds. set and most of the housecleaning done. (It’s the
latter that I really dread…) And also all of my Christmas shopping done and
wrapped so I can send them home with them . (We don’t get to see them over
Christmas). It’s a lot but we
manage. And we do so enjoy having
everyone here….

We don't give the nieces, nephews and their children much at Christmas. Oh the children do get something but there really is no exchange among the adults. Last year Virginia knit all 17 of them hats.
However one thing we are is a family that enjoys food, so we decided to share some of our favorites. We make one or two of these in the course of a normal week, taking pictures, writing a blog entry, perhaps some sort of publishing at the end and though that isn't an end.
The blog entry for a recipe won't be here, it will be at my blog The Art of the Pig http://blog.charcuteire.com/ after all, doing a 25 picture essay with recipe for Bread and Butter pickles is kind of over kill for this blog.
These are our recipes, the list may have come from one of the greats, although the Bread and Butter pickles actually is mine, but the text and the pictures come from us.
The working title is From the Kitchens of North Ridge Road and at some point the blog entry there, and perhaps here, will include a link to a PDF version. In any case feel free to down load and share, just if you use our text and pictures
give us credit.

The cooking has started, and most of the lunchs on the menu are now out the window. I'm not going to post pictures of Costco pepperoni pizza, but we will get two lunches off it. Wednesday before Thanksgiving will be left over Chinese take out from the night before.
