2 posts in one day is a bit out of control but, I'm going for it. This (american) thanksgiving was spent chez miss Olivia in Tribeca... Last minute planning turned out absolutely perfectly. I made my grandmothers recipe of yorkshire pudding & cooked the turkey! Dinner for 10 people who barely knew each other ended up being more perfect than any stressful family you-have-to-sit-beside-the-cousin-you-hate-while-your-mom-yells-at-you situation. I'm all for choosing who you want to hang out with for the holidays, well done friends... well done!

Yorkshire Pudding:

(makes 12 individuals)

l cup flour

l cup milk

2 eggs

Pinch of salt

Mix together in a large bowl using an electric whisk or beating the hell out of it until the top is entirely bubbles (for aprox 2/3 minutes)

Let sit for 2 -3 hours - do not move the bowl until it goes into the oven!

Preheat oven to 425

Pour aprox 1 1/2 tbsp of lard into the bottom of each muffin tray (if no lard, vegetable oil will work) and heat the lard/oil until it starts to smoke

Take the pan back out of the oven, add the batter and put in for 30 minutes. Do not open the oven door until the 30 minutes is up or they will drop!!
