To help get this off-topic thread back on topic, let me share my recipe for popovers. Now, if you search on popovers, you will find there are a zillion and one recipes at last count. This recipe is a little different. It is the recipe used for popovers served at the Mayo Foundation House at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, or so I was told.

Never mean to hurt feelings of people whom I can depend on.

I have flavor testy recipe
The best choc-chip cookies:

INGREDIENTS
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
They're addictive and very fattening!

Sorry Rif@@, we missed your new year and Ashura. Hope they went well for you.

HUH!!

 

Islamic new year was on the 7th of December this year.

Ashura is the 9th and 10th days of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar (16th of December, 2010). Shia and Sunni see the holiday differently, but it is still observed by both sides of Islam.

Sorry, I thought you were devout. I was just mentioning these days out of respect for that reason.

 

Ahh! That.....

We did celebrate that day, by fasting u know...

Hey..I celebrate everything, well almost everything.
We have to follow both the calendars actually. Dunno why...

But it's for the better, we get to celebrate two new years at once

You don't happen to have the recipe for this one Bill?

Good times.

Theres a guy on national radio station that always say this. No matter what, its always Good times.

Mom stopped making them after we moved to Britain when I was 5 or so, I suspect they got lost in transit.

 

Makes me sad... oh, well. Someone else?

 

Delia's recipies tend to be pretty good, I haven't tried this one, but it looks simple enough.

yummy. Thanks.

 

Since we do the Turkey AND a Ham on Thanksgiving day(and the following week) We have developed a different Christmas tradition. SWMBO is Italian and we have her parents here every Christmas, so two huge lasagna are made with Red and Green Pepper medallions on top for decoration. Lots of Garlic bread and spagetti with meatballs. Potato soup too!

I love Christmas, but I get too fat!

 

Sounds lovely, I'm not a fan of the Christmas roast. I've just made a big rooster curry which should be enough to take me through to Boxing Day.
I do like mince pies though, but I imagine you might be having tiramasu to keep with the Italian theme.
