Fun holiday fact: The idea of Christmas trees was actually taken from the Celtic Druids of Northern Europe who decorated a tree at this time of year to celebrate the winter solstice. The Puritans of early America actually banned Christmas trees because they were considered pagan (due to their origin). Blessed Yule to all my fellow Pagans.

10:31 am

welki

i was up early, made the big breakfast. now, dough for sweet buns is rising, soon i'll make the batter for yorkshire puddings - hehe, i have it so planned out that something will go sideways

10:32 am

rururocks

simpler menu for me .. but that sounds good.. love yorkshire pudding

10:32 am

periwinkle

never had yorkshire pudding. what is in it

10:32 am

periwinkle

hi all

10:33 am

welki

the menu is simple - standing rib roast, baby red potatoes, brussels sprouts with shallots/minced mushrooms

10:33 am

welki

it's like a popover, peri

10:33 am

periwinkle

ok

10:33 am

rururocks

eggs and milk mostly peri with some drippings

10:33 am

welki

i guess it is a popover, but savory, not sweet

10:34 am

periwinkle

hmm. drippings from what? a roast?

10:34 am

welki

yes

10:34 am

rururocks

yup

10:34 am

periwinkle

ok

10:34 am

welki

but you could use bacon fat or vegetable oil, but it has to have a really high flashpoint

10:34 am

rururocks

i have only made it once and it is yummy

10:34 am

welki

peanut oil would probably work

10:37 am

welki

brings back a good memory - ru, you can probably relate to this. years ago, i had a friend, a good friend. how could you tell? because i trusted her with my popover pans *lol*

10:37 am

welki

(the same ones that i left in the city, so have to make the puddings in muffin tins)

10:38 am

MollyL
