Whoo! The sister is here!

Currently there are no plans except to hang out, watch movies and anime (I plan on siccing Honey and Clover on her), and cook.

Meal plan for Christmas includes:
- Marbled chocolate cheesecake, chickpea pancakes, squash and leek curry, pasta with pesto, chocolate souffle and bread with giandula and jam.

Obviously, I'm not one for traditional fooding. Also, I have made most of these before, except the pesto, souffle and bread, so that will be interesting.

Yuletide pinch-hit is uploaded and hopefully error-free, and I'm even contemplating a stocking stuffer!

And then... dancing penguins for tonight!

Hey, marbled chocolate cheesecake *is* traditional fooding for us! In fact, I have to make it tomorrow because my sister (the usual baker) is in Yellowstone for the winter, and it's not Christmas without it.

Yay cheesecake! I've found it's a lot easier now that I have a stand mixer ^_^.

Squash-leek curry! Yay!

Holiday food around here looks like it's going to be a multi-day mishmash of tom kha gai, veggie sushi, potato-leek soup, mushroom stew with rosemary over polenta, squash soup with sage, and quite possibly malai kofta.

::looks at list::

Well, if I substituted dal for the malai kofta we could call it a Multiethnic Soups! theme, although that still doesn't account for the sushi... ooooh, unless I did gyoza curry ramen instead.

Crap. Now I want gyoza curry ramen.

Ooooooo that sounds so good! Kofta! I love them!

The fooding sounds wonderful! I'm particularly curious about the chickpea pancakes -- is it a recipe you could share? No rush, of course. ^_^

Like so many other things, I stole the recipe from heresluck.

Oooh, the fooding sounds delicious, though I gotta admire your cooking guts. Not sure I could take the stress of trying a new souffle on a holiday. Squash leek curry sounds divine. What sort of squash, if you don't mind my asking? I've been adding butternut squash to all sorts of things since I realized the skin gets soft when stewed.

I'm actually not doing much this holiday at all, so the cooking is ... pretty much it!

It is indeed butternut squash, or at least will be if I can find some today.
