Home made pizza ... WITH ANCHOVIES.
Hi, seela
Love anchovies and love the pizza with them. I do that sometimes at home.

They turned out great! I still have some pork left so I'm pondering if I should make more buns tomorrow or use up the pork in some other dish.

I'm not sure yet. Either Tagliatelle with ragù or pilaf with meat and vegetables. We'll see later how I feel.

Thanks! Putting this on the evergrowing list of recipes to try.
No Sahnesteif available here, but I'll make do without.

What are you baking?
I made bread and golden beet terrine today. In an ideal world I would have baked the bread a few days ago because it's one of those moist breads that get better after a few days, but I was too tired and lazy. It's a small wonder I managed to get it done at all.
Salmon is curing, I made two types this year. Whitefish is curing too. Herrings are pickled. Mushroom salad is chilling in the fridge. I still don't know what to make for a warm dish of if I'm going to skip it altogether. Our big day is tomorrow, so not much time to figure it out. I might make beet soup. It looks pretty and beets are a big thing in the traditional Christmas table here, so beet soup could be a nice nod in that direction.

No Sahnesteif here either, but, to stabilise whipped cream, you can dissolve a teaspoon of unflavoured gelatin in a few teaspoons of water.

Yeah, I've done either that or added a bit of quark or cream cheese to make it sturdier. It changes the flavor a little but I don't mind as I generally really enjoy the slight tang that quark brings into the mix.

Sounds tasty!
We had an assortiment of fish, basically. Roe, cured, smoked. Dark malt bread to go with it. Gold beet terrine. Beetroot soup topped with blue cheese and croutons. Cinnamon yogurt dessert with lingonberries, Russian candy and gingerbread crumbs.
Tomorrow's leftover day, although we still have stuff we made for today and didn't take at all. Like the herrings and beet cured salmon. The 26th has traditionally been a pizza day for us, but this year it might be burgers instead. We'll see.

Doing as much as possible today so all I have to do tomorrow is the turkey and sweet potatoes. J wanted a traditional meal for a change.
So our menu is filled with comfort food:
Shrimp cocktail
Turkey
Cornbread Dressing
Sweet potatoes with apples
Pistachio Brussels sprouts
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Cranberry sauce
Pecan pie
Tonight after he gets home we'll have a cocktail and charcuterie and watch Love, Actually and Die Hard.

The bird is done but we are too full from the biscuits and gravy for breakfast to be able to finish side dishes and sit down to eat yet again!

Yesterday I made:
Shrimp cocktail
Smoked Salmon canapés
Octopus salad (with potatoes, lemon, parsley and olive oil)
Mixed Fried Fish (shrimps, squid rings, fish, squid tufts, anchovies and baccalà)
Spaghetti with sea food (with mussels, lupins, squid tufts, scampi and cherry tomatoes)
Chocolate cake (this is a specialty of my brother as I don't bake)
Tonight I'm keeping it light. Just some bruschetta and panettone.
