Oh, what a great share, Koko. I have no tagine, but have decided for
the Thanksgiving dinner I will make for bad-cook friends next year I
will use all my Corningware and other nice oven-safe dishes to keep
everything inside a low-temp oven or stove-top to be able to just whip
all out and onto the table after my guests arrive and seating time
comes. I should be able to manage that with preparing only the turkey
(sliced and chunked), both sweet and mashed potatoes, green beans or
brussel sprouts and covered bread rolls in the oven; gravy, corn mixed
with bacon and a teensy bit of brown sugar stove-top. As the table is
filled with all that, the cakes to be sauce drizzled and the peach and
apple pies that are mixed/panned and refrigerated can go into the oven
while we eat and the coffee brews and the tea water heats. A lot of
this I can make the day before and refrigerate until pre-dinner oven
time because I do have two good size refrigerators, one standard size
oven and a big enough convection oven to handle all to serving times.
Wish me luck, I am determined to have these bad-cook people over next
year for a goosd, simple, old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner.
Theit kitchen is just as tiny as mine, they have two grown kids who
each work in restaurants, and thereby each of the four adults
contributed to the dinner I was invited to. I brought only my then
too sour cranberry sauce to share; they provided a very dry spiral
sliced ham, a moisture-less turkey, watery and unsalted mashed spuds,
tasteless gravy, canned and unseasoned-undrained green beans with
soggy bacon added as well as unseasoned-undrained canned corn, boiled
potato slices with sliced brats and cream of mushroom soup in the then
baked together mix, some sort of "beanie-weenie' dish I did not try,
cold packaged buns and an okay pumpkin cheesecake that I brought home
a piece of, plus a cold platter of black olives, mini-carrots and
boiled egg halves with the yolks only mashed and not seasoned with
anything at all, and a huge bowl of wheat thin cereal that had been
tumbled in a bag of chocolate white powdered sugar. What a treat this
dinner was (not). My compliments were limited to, "Oh, what a fun
combination!" and, of course, "Thank you so much for sharing your day
with me, next year it will be my turn!"
