Munchies Monday - November 23, 2009
What foods say “holidays” to you? Is it turkey, cranberry sauce, cornbread stuffing, eggnog, or pumpkin pie? Or something entirely different? (I know some of my Aussie friends celebrate Christmas with a big cook-out. I still can’t wrap my head around Christmas in the middle of summer!)
And on the subject of eggnog, how do you like it? With a shot of whiskey or amaretto? With a dollop of whipped cream on top, dusted with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg? Nothing at all, just fresh and ice cold?
For me, nothing says the holidays like store-bought brown-and-serve rolls. I don’t care if they’re full of simple carbs and empty of nutritional value. I love the way they get all crispy on the outside while staying light and springy on the inside. I love splitting one in half and letting a pat of butter melt into a pool in the center of one half while using the other half to mop up my mom’s special from-a-jar-cuz-she’s-got-nothing-to-prove gravy. Ain’t nothing like it, and I dare you to find something better.

Egg nog straight from the carton. Yum!
And deviled eggs. And those little crescent rolls that you heat and serve? Yeah, I could eat an entire container, methinks.
Enjoy your day, whatever you choose to eat!

Oh, tysdaddy, YES, deviled eggs are wonderful. And crescent rolls, too! I saw a commercial this weekend with so many neat crescent roll recipe ideas - I think Pillsbury has a website specifically for the purpose of spreading crescent-roll-creativity - and it made my mouth water. Mmmmm, new recipes! Tis the season for LOTS of cooking!
