Season with Spice - Features: Christmas Rum Eggnog. Just as Christmas shopping begins earlier and earlier each year, so does the holiday season burnout. Hopefully, you haven’t reached that point yet. But that may not be enough to get the Christmas spirit back. You may need something stronger. You may have to literally drink some Christmas spirit.
A creamy, frothy, eggnog with rum. The origin of eggnog is as fuzzy as anyone’s memory after drinking a few. When the recipe reached the American colonies, that liquor of choice became rum. Eggnog is now generally served cold, but continues as a traditional winter drink, since it still warms the body from the effects of the rum, and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. To make eggnog, there are two basic choices – raw eggs or cooked eggs. Traditional eggnog is smooth and foamy from the egg whites having lots of air whipped into it. Try adding in a little rum and sugar to the cream for a layer of rum whipped cream to top the eggnog. Christmas Rum Eggnog by Season with Spice Makes 3 servings.
Couscous and feta-stuffed peppers. I spent six hours on a train yesterday to and from my old stomping grounds, Washington D.C. I lived there for six years and haven’t been back in just as many, so you can imagine how crazy it was to only see twenty minutes of it, from a cab. With every turn, I jumped, remembering how we used to hang out legs out from that window above Dupont Circle over the sign for what used to be a hair salon, or that turn that always unnerved me to make from California to Connecticut and that block on Massachusetts Avenue not far from NPR where a hooker once flashed me everything as I gripped the steering wheel and willed the light to turn green already, PLEASE. It was like confetti flitting around in a fan, all these pieces I had entirely forgotten about, like sanitized subways and the escalator at the zoo that is no less than a mile long, but others I couldn’t stitch together before we waded through the traffic to the next block.
One year ago: Fougasse Provencale and Rustic White Bread. Eat, Run, Read: Sweet Potato Frittata. Though I'm a pretty die hard dessert-lover, I do actually cook real food on occasion. There are three important meals in my day: breakfast, dinner, and dessert (lunch = meh). And a satisfying dinner after a day of work and post-work run is sooooo good! This frittata is an amalgamation of awesomeness, a combination of cheese and crispy bacon, a eggy symphony of sweet potatoes and spinach with a side of salad - all together, a delicious dish of dinner! A frittata is essentially a quiche sans crust (and you know how I feel about making crust).
For this one I decided to up the ante by incorporating a "crust" of sweet potato discs, browned in bacon drippings. (Drool.) Frittas are so easy - you can vary the ingredients depending on the season, and what you have in your fridge. Sweet Potato Frittata - 1 lb bacon - 1 onion, diced - 6 eggs - 1/2 cup milk - 1 box frozen spinach (I think it's 1 lb), thawed and drained - 1/2 lb asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces - 8 oz feta cheese - salt and pepper to taste. Baked Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos. I have to be honest . . . there are a lot of recipe fails at my house. Most of them happen when I try to invent my own recipe . . . my poor husband dreads those "experimental meals". But every once in a while, something wonderful comes of it and these little taquitos fall into that wonderful category! They are quick and easy to throw together- you can prepare the filling early in the day and even roll the taquitos, keep them in the fridge, and then pop them in the oven when you are ready to eat dinner.
