no.276 the essie/ina project

oh dear.

whatever got into me, i'll ever know!
team leader told me last night that there would be NO meltdowns ala Julie in the Julie/Julia movie-
the love that he is, he crawled into our big bed and, watched the movie from start to stop with me last night.
start
to
stop
cooking, and france, and two couples who loved each other through some crazy defining lifetime moments.

bringing me to ina
and her cookbook "back to the basics"
where i found a beautiful foodie photo of a turkey roulande with cranberry, celery, sausage stuffing rolled perfectly through the middle.

y.u.m.

determined i asked miz ral how she thought one would "butterfly a turkey breast"
and went to work.
um
butterflying a turkey breast isn't for the feight-hearted!!
BUT
i did it!!!
(yay me)
the pounding of the turkey breast to flatten it for better rolling
can't take credit for that, all team leader's idea
the embroidery floss instead of kitchen twine...that's a little bridget jones
(white tho-not blue!)
heart pounding, i rolled those puppies up and tied them off, calling miz ral to tell her:
"meltdown avoided!"

ready to cook


hot from the oven



voila!


umarmen und lieben
essie
