Over the holidays I tried some new recipes. A Triple Chocolate Trifle which included a layer of white chocolate peppermint mousse for Christmas Eve, and an Eggnog Cheesecake for New Year's Eve! Both were found in my archive of magazine clippings. After a magazine has been enjoyed, I rip it apart. I have one accordion file folder for recipes and another for home decorating, gardening, crafts, etc.
I have, with some sadness, decided to let all my magazine subscriptions run out. The idea is I will finally have time to search my own collection for ideas, because usually all I have time to do is organize the new additions before another issue comes along.
I am looking forward to trying two new recipes for this coming Sunday dinner. Sesame Root Beer Braised Short Ribs served with sweet potatoes and my trusty Chinese Coleslaw. The other I just found in Martha Stewart's most recent February issue, Ile Flottante, which is described as a floating island, similar to meringues. I am hopeful.
I'm so happy I'm the recipient of all these lovely recipes, I love that you're soo creative even in dinners!
