The things we do... (FFwD Cheez-Itish Crackers)

A couple of years ago, I did my FFwD in the spirit of it "Twas the Night Before Christmas". In keeping with my newly acquired Christmas spirit, I am taking this week's FFwD post in the stylings of "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer".

Perhaps I've eaten just one too many cookies and I am on a sugar high.

We've made sables and pilaf

And hummus and basquaise

Lentils with salmon,

Mussels, chorizo,

Armagnac chicken.

But do you recall

Your most favorite recipe of all?

We are the mighty "Doristas"

Trevor hit it on the nose.

We conquer lots of dishes

Why we do it, no one knows....

Sometimes to the chagrin of our families

We put odd dishes on the plate

We remind them to broaden their view

And be happy that they just ate.

Once in a while a dish comes up

That most are scared to make

Until a few brave souls speak out

And we realize the recipe wasn't a mistake.

So let's down to cooking

As long as each of us is able.

Big thanks to Dorie Greenspan

I don't have a lot of  clever words. Or much to say about crackers - but hey, Plugra, Gruyere and truffle salt were involved... Do I really need to expand on that?

I was told these tasted like Goldfish crackers, only better...

Wishing everyone the very best this Christmas - or however you choose to celebrate the holiday season.

Go give someone you love a hug. Count your blessing and brace yourselves...because 2013 is bringing us chicken liver gateaux and who knows what else!

Mother of Pearl, I am going to need to put on my big girl brave pants for that one...

I guess it can't be any worse than the cheddared worms that my brother sent in my Christmas foodie care package. (Yes, my brother really did send me worms... That's how brothers show affection for their little sisters.)

Peace out!
