Got back from my in-laws lst week. My mother-in-law is an amazing cook. We were so well fed!Each year, she makes dozens of different kinds of cookies. There's a full plate with a few of each variety at all times. My favorites are the nutmeg logs and the praline cookies. Just incredible. The first time I visited, I thought I was being so thoughtful by bringing a few dozen of these fudgy bonbons (soft chocolate cookie around a Hershey's Hugs - Pillsbury bakeoff winner - so yummy when microwaved for a few seconds!). Zeb had failed to mention the spread his mom puts on. I know now - I cannot compete.
These days, I just sit back and try to learn from her. Oh she made these incredible chicken breasts stuffed with spinach and mushrooms (The Ark Cookbook). I wanted more but I could only eat so much. Oh and then there was the green beans and chestnuts sauteed in whiskey. And this cranberry butter...my sister-in-law's boyfriend just started eating it with a spoon.
