Long long day! I made an apple dessert and then went to the center....carting half the kitchen from our apartment with us.
Matti...a young man who volunteered to be the guest chef of the week was there when I got there. I helped him prepare a very Danish dish....creamed potatoes with a ton of chopped bacon. He layered sliced potatoes and chopped raw bacon twice and then poured a mixture of milk, heavy cream and flour over that....then baked it for nearly an hour. It was very tasty. He was a wonderful companion for several hours as we worked on that meal.
Everyone was enthusiastic about the very Danish meal. We sliced French bread, lathered it in butter and Penzey's Sandwich Sprinkle....and boiled a ton of broccoli and served it like that. Everyone loved the broccoli too!
We cleaned up and now we are home....ready to do it again tomorrow. I'll go to the center, where there will be a couple of young women decorating for the evening. Everyone will go to the temple and then back to the center for dinner followed by games. It could be a late night tomorrow night....kind of the last big celebration for 5 of our young people who will be leaving on missions.
Well....I'm off to bed....see you tomorrow night!
What's not to like about lots of bacon - but raw? Must have been good though. You forgot to send a before and after picture of you - or someone who ate that meal. I would have gained at least 5 lbs. Maybe they eat rich foods to keep warm. You do burn more calories when you are cold. Hope tomorrow won't be too intense. Don't want you getting sick. L&P
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, the bacon got very well done....nice and crispy and flavorful. Yea....most meals around here are not exactly diet-friendly! L&P
DeleteI'm glad that you have guest chefs to help! Have you made the bread like that before? What did everyone think of it? We love it! Does Danish broccoli smell as bad as the American kind when it is cooking? What was the potatoes and bacon recipe called? I'd love to try it out!
ReplyDeleteBroccoli doesn't smell so bad here.....I am not sure why. The bread was wildly popular. It was gobbled up. The potatoes were called creamed potatoes. I'll write out the recipe for you.
