Cooking with Heat Day one
Susan’s back for the first of our four-day series sure to make this Thanksgiving “berry” special!
Welcome back, Susan!
Most people have their thanksgiving main dishes set – how they like to do their stuffing, the way they cook their turkey, what kind of biscuits they make (or buy!). For the next four days, I’m sharing ideas to add some extras to the day. A lovely decoration, a yummy side dish, a fancy drink, and an amazing dessert. And who doesn’t want more dessert!
OK – first off is the decoration – I LOVE doing this! It looks even prettier if you put it in a glass bowl. You put water in, float a layer of cranberries and drop tea lights into it (they also float!). Make sure you take off the metal cups they come in so it is just the lights. This is beautiful lit up – I always get a ton of compliments on it. You may want to have extra tea lights if you plan on lighting it for a while – they burn fairly quickly.
And in keeping with our Cooking with Heat tradition, I’m going to share a “thankful” snippets from a few of my books. Nothing like a little spice to go with your sweets!
Today’s snippet is from Friday I’m in Love.
“You two get out of here. We can manage this place just fine. And Natalie…”
She turned to look at his pop.
“That’s a hell of a catch you made there.”
She laughed. “Think I should kiss him? Mark him as mine?”
Pop grinned. ”I think you should definitely do that. Welcome home.”
She smiled, tears gathering in her eyes as she reached out to hug Pop. “Thank you,” she whispered.
“Now,” Pop said, “go on. Do something special, something fun. It’s times like these when life’s meant to be celebrated.”
