Since this is my last weekend here before I leave for the holidays, it was time for a Christmas Lunch date at my favorite restaurant Winteringham Fields. I will really miss this place when I leave for good!!
Champagne by the roaring fire
Roasted partridge, smoked pancetta, parsnips, brussel sprouts and truffle polenta
Rum and raisin panna cotta, Christmas beignet, nutmeg ice cream
Today we are going over to the Graffs for a post-Thanksgiving feast. I was asked to bring 2 pumpkin pies. Luckily I had brought back 2 cans of pumpkin last time I was in Houston. I have never seen pumpkin on the shelves here. Then I panicked that my pie plates were still in Houston. They are here, no need for panic.
Since I don't enjoy making pie crust, I has very happy to find what I thought was ready-made crust.
They are rectangles!! Another bit of panic! Nothing that a seam and a rolling pin can't fix!
