Pimento Cheese with Creme Fraiche and Bacon an easy crowd-pleasing appetizer

I’m pondering the crazy cosmic irony that suggests Thanksgiving and Christmas are times of peace and tranquility; especially when they collide like a comet into Jupiter. Whether your holidays are spent in altruistic pursuits, creating clever greeting cards, stitching needlepoint pillows resembling your friends pets,  or — sigh — cooking, ...

Peggy Lampman's Thursday dinnerFeed: Standing rib roast

This year's Christmas Eve recipe was slated to be Roast Lamb, a deviation from the family's traditional Standing Rib Roast. Don't get me wrong. I'm well aware a Standing Rib Roast shouts "Merry Christmas" louder than Santa on a float at the Detroit Thanksgiving Day parade. This year, however, I ...

Peggy Lampman's Monday dinnerFeed: Savory stuffed quinces with lamb

Peggy Lampman's Friday dinnerFeed: Fruit and cheese platter

Did I really promise a host I'd bring an appetizer for a party for 30 tonight? What was I thinking? It's a Friday in December--my legal pad can't contain my to-do list, and I'll never be able to manufacture enough time to assemble something suitable. Adding to the drama is ...
