I'm Canadjin, eh? So I've already had Thanksgiving - like, a month ago. It was great and I wish the same for all my neighbours to the south! Bit late now to mention it, but there is an awesome recipe for cranberry orange chutney over at Epicurious you might want to try some time.
All the US media turkeyisms have reminded me that I need to get on to ordering my turkey for Christmas. I don't cook on Christmas Day, but I've been entrusted with the task for another nice dinner afterward based on my good luck roasting chickens. I've done two very successful brined turkeys now with the advice and support from my local butcher, who also encouraged me in matters of chicken stock, and I think I'll be doing it again this year
but
if I don't get this one little problem fixed, it will probably be the last time I'll be allowed.
Somehow, something on the table has given one of my guests lobster hands. By which I mean; serious allergic reaction.
Last year I changed everything atypical but the chutney and the tablecloth, and it happened again.
So this year I'm not taking any chances. The tablecloth is going to be a curtain, and the table is going to be ornamented with a runner down the middle well away from this particular guest, and I might just leave the chutney out of it entirely.
Or, um, position it between me and the only other person who likes cranberry on the turkey.
It's really, really good chutney.
