3:03 am
grannyrose
how was your night and your yesterday?
3:04 am
sprite
looks like the timing is right, this time. Am glad :) And yay for you for not overdoing stuff. Showering, drying off and getting dressed are rather taxing things when not fit.
3:06 am
grannyrose
i wanted to have another go at the clean washing. oh well, there's always tomorrow.
3:06 am
sprite
my yesterday was ok. Nice visit, only for some reason I was dead beat when I came home. Went to bed at 8, slept at 9, slept around the clock (with some intervals)
3:07 am
sprite
it'll keep, darling. Let your body lead you and not the other way around.

3:13 am
grannyrose
can you organise a very restful evening ?
3:15 am
sprite
I had asked her to come on boxing day. Would have been a joint effort from me, rob and caya, plus a nice dinner and our traditional Xmas movies. But she didn't feel up to it yet. Now, I don't know. A whole day of talking, probably.
3:15 am
sprite
she'll stay for dinner
3:15 am
grannyrose
oh!! not too late for you i hope.
3:16 am
sprite
no, she'll want to go home early, I expect, being very tired herself. And I love her very much, so that is the good part.
3:17 am
grannyrose
poor girl!! both of you !!
3:17 am
sprite
lol it will work out. Things always do. I just wish it could have been on boxing day.
3:18 am

3:19 am
grannyrose
hang on !! i thought tomorrow was going to be you day off??
3:20 am
sprite

3:21 am
grannyrose

3:22 am

cheese twists - you have to make the dough, regridgerate it for 2 hours, roll it out to 1/4" thickness, egg brush and coat both sides with a crumb/cheese/salt/paprika mix, cut into 1/3x6" strips, twist and place on cookie sheet, freeze for 1 hour to 1 day, then bake.

what other food will be there?
6:04 pm

no - I've been making it for new years dinner for 45 years now! (and other special occasions). In this case everyone is chipping in to buy the meat, which is good because a filet now costs about $90 in our markets.
6:05 pm

I have no idea on what else is on the menu -- I think salad was mentioned and a green bean casserole. Dessert of course. Just 4 couples, so everyone is doing something

seems like you are doing the most
6:08 pm

not really -- and most of mine can be prepared ahead of time. I use a sour cream pastry that can be frozen for up to 3 months. So it is really just par cooking the meat and wrapping it up the day of the dinner.

is it really as complicated as i hear, with the pastry having to be kept icy and the meat not, until bake time?
6:16 pm
cybernan
no -- I just chill the meat well before wrapping, then leave it in the fridge til bake time. You bake the fillet for 30 minutes at 400F and chill it before wrapping. I use Graham Kerr's recipe (the one with pate in it, not is new skinny minnie one). I'm sure it is on line somewhere and if you want my sour cream pastry recipe, I'll send it to you.
6:18 pm
