With Christmas rapidly approaching, Julie and I have been trying to decide what to eat on the eve and morning of the big day. There's a lot at stake because whatever we do is likely to become a tradition (because Greg) and we don't want to have to eat taquitos for the next 40 years because of a silly mistake.
That example does not work at all. Now I want a taquito. Muchos taquitos.
As it stands, the plan is tater tots with sausage gravy on Christmas eve and I'm going to try to reproduce a recipe for quiche lorraine that I saw on an episode of Julia Childs' awesome 1960s cooking show, The French Chef. Sausage in both you see. And the quiche gets bacon. We'll be drinking a lot of water.
To get her mind right for all that, Julie has been making cookies. First no-bake cookies, and then, today, cookies that were made by refining other cookies down to their cookie greatness, mixing them with cream cheese, and then slathering them with minty chocolate (recipe). Like this:
Happy Mayan long count calendar rollover day everybody!

Each ball is 5 oreos, a tablespoon of cream cheese, and 2 mint bars - one 3 ball serving is 9000 calories (countless lies).
