We started out planning on a relatively quiet day at my house, and now it looks like I'm cooking for a dozen to 15 people. That's the way it goes around here. I don't mind, actually I enjoy cooking for a crowd. It just feels more like a holiday when there are lots of family and friends around, having a good time. This week I'm going to send some last minute holiday recipes to you through Wednesday. On Friday I'll send a few ideas for those turkey leftovers. Have a great week, we all have a lot to be thankful for. -------------------------------------------------- Tarragon Mustard Wonderful on vegetables, in a dressing or mixed with mayo for sandwiches. Ingredients: 1/2 cup dry mustard 1/4 cup water, boiling 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 cup white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon sugar 3 tbsp. fresh tarragon, chopped 1/4 teaspoon of allspice Salt to taste Thoroughly stir mustard into the water and allow to stand for 30 minutes in a saucepan.
