New plates! I had my eye on these all through Fall at Sur La Table and scored these when they went on sale for 3.99 each. I bought a dozen of them! Perfect for October Farm.
I made a huge meat and cheese platter for my daughter's event.
It took well over an hour to make this and every last piece was eaten. I made six beef roasts with gravy and enough mashed potatoes for 230 people and there was not a drop of anything left.
I've started my Christmas baking though it feels more like the 4th of July here rather than Christmas. It's almost 60 degrees here right now. Not even close to my idea of December weather.
I made chewy gingerbread cookies.

This is my favorite gingerbread cookie of all time.
Thanks to everyone who left comments about Bev. I have a very sad heart.

I know it hurts like hell to lose someone special.
Would you happen to know how to get burnt syrup off the oven floor?? I had an 'accident' baking my apple crumb pie and liquid spilled out. It is taking me all this time and I cannot use the oven as it smokes like a chimney. I am afraid to check it again. :( Most of it is off but there are some stubborn spots. xo
And, I put a bunch of chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge this morning. But, you are making my cookie list grow longer- I remember liking the idea of these cookies when you posted them. I'll be making the dough this afternoon.
I know the food is transported to the event destination. What I wonder is, how do you secure something like this?
It's big. It's not *tied down.* The food parts are not *stuck together.* -grin- How ever do you keep it all on the level, for the trip???
So it arrives in perfect condition???
THIS, is almost as fantastic, as all the cooking, cooking, cooking which goes into these events.
The cookies looks delicious, we have a chewy kind of gingerbread over here that many of us loves to spread butter on and some cheese on top of it :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
Continue to send warm thoughts to you at this time.
Did you do catering in a previous life? The meat platter looks yummy, and the cookies must have made your home smell wonderful!
Too much sadness this year . . .
Joyce, I am so sad for you and for Bev's family. At times like these words are inadequate.
You dishes are so pretty! I too love a good molasses cookie- would be good with the French Roast coffee I am drinking as I type this comment.
We had a good dump of snow on Saturday. I will post Halle in it for you to enjoy next post.
You are such a hard worker!!!
If you want snow, come over to Munich and help me with shoveling snow. ;) I only hope some snow will be left on Christmas. Hah!
