"Stuffed" -- October 16, 2010

This dinner wins for most incredibly self-indulgent excess, hands down.  Cheese in EVERY SINGLE COURSE, and not one but TWO rounds of stuffed potatoes.  Whoa.
This kid was the host, and while a turducken did not, in the end, make an appearance, the beef wellington did have squirrels on it.  Truly.
Table settings included cranberry-chutney-stuffed apples as place cards.. the rest is a bit fuzzy.
For the welly recipe, click here.  (note that in order to avoid jill vomiting, onions caramelized in port were subbed in for the portabello mushrooms).

  1. Joy of Baking (http://www.joyofbaking.com/Profiteroles.html) provided step-by-step instructions for the perfect profiterole, which was then STUFFED with passion fruit creme patissiere (sorry, no recipe, all free-style) instead of the vanilla ice cream as the recipe indicates. The chocolate ganache was definitely present.
