I am completely exhausted. No matter how much sleep I get, I always feel like I just pulled a couple all-nighters. Then I had a doctor’s appointment today (at 7:30am) and the doctor is sick and I need to come back tomorrow (I might just wait till Friday, just to be sure she’s healthy again). What a bummer! I had to pay for a tram ticket each way too! So, because I am too tired to think straight enough to write something interesting, I am just going to provide links to some more of the recipes I used for my Thanksgiving feast. Enjoy!
Cranberry sauce with port and dried figs
Orange-flavored sweet potatoes with oatmeal cookie topping – Instead of oatmeal cookies, I used a mix of Lebkuchen for spice and Leibnitz crackers for crunch (ginger cookies would work as well), I only used 6 large sweet potatoes (7 would never have fit in the pan), and I added a 1/4 cup of cognac.
New York Style Cheesecake – I left epicurious.com (my fav. cooking/recipe site – once I move and have DSL again I’ll be able to view their technique videos – Yay!) for this recipe because I needed a recipe for a 10-inch springform pan. Please note that a bar of Philadelphia in the US is 8 oz (or 227 grams) while a bar in Germany is 200 grams.
Let me know if there are any other recipes you want, I’ll be happy to transcribe the others (they’re not already online).
