Well, it's that time of year again. Time to throw an end-of-semester-holiday dinner party for the members of my "cohort" (there's 8 of us, plus dates). Basically, I make a gallon of boozy eggnog, fret over selecting three coordinating dishes, clean and decorate the apartment like a madwoman, and then enjoy the company and benefits of my insanity. It's quite nice.This year, the dishes were:
- Mushroom Bourguignon from SmittenKitchen
- Dijon-braised Brussel Sprouts (omg) also from SmittenKitchen.
- Twice-baked Sweet Potatoes made by J
- Drunken Molasses Cookies with Ginger from TheKitchn
- Peppermint Cream-filled Butter Cookies (aka "Bastard Cookies", I hate them so) also from TheKitchn
- Libby's Pumpkin Pie, that we never got to, from the pumpkin can
- Everyone's Favorite Eggnog from BYOV
You can find documentation of the first dinner party, the second dinner party, and the third annual dinner party distributed throughout the blog. I've gotten better at documentation over the years.
