Well, my dear friends, tis time once again to cook your butt off.
**Wouldn't it be nice if one could be rid of an oversized derierre so easily?**
The first exchange of 2010 will be January 20th. My house 4:30. Problems? Let us know.
xoxo,

PS If I remember correctly we decided every 6 weeks rather than monthly for this year, is that right?

I baked for just over 90 minutes.... put on a cookie sheet to bake unless you like cleaning the oven. :-)
thanks for the recipe and heads up, denise.
ReplyDeletea note on the shep's pie. if you defrost overnight in the fridge, as per the directions, you will actually probably want to cook it for 60 minutes. i cooked it for 40 last night and it was still cold in the middle. --if you cook it from frozen you will be waiting a looong time (but it'll be worth the wait).
And a note on the macaroni and cheese... I tried a "make-ahead" recipe that warned that the mixture would be "soupy" in order to compensate for the drying-out that happens when you freeze. I filled the pans pretty full, so you will probably want a pan under this one as well.
ReplyDeleteThe cooking instructions say to microwave from frozen for about 10 minutes before baking. This step won't quite work since I used the foil pans, so hopefully it's enough to bake it a long time or let it thaw first.
Let me know how it works out (you won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't).
