Well, that is true, I am fortunate that I live on the west coast and have access to fresh seafood. BUT, these lobsters were flown in from the East coast.

Angelaid, I love potato pancakes but I would say that is is my favourite version. There is no secret to making these pancakes. I've made them with mashed potatoes that I made specifically for making these pancakes and I've also made extra mashed potatoes for dinner and saved the leftovers for these pancakes. When I make them with the leftover mashed potatoes there is also butter in the mix. This is not a stiff or thick batter. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Mere Blanc's Potato Pancakes From:www.thedailyspud.com with very minor changes. 2 small baking potatoes 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup All-Purpose flour 2 eggs, separated 1-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream Pinch of salt Pepper Fresh chives (or green onions) Butter for frying Cook potatoes until tender Mash with a little milk. Let potatoes cool before adding the remaining milk, cream, flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and chives. Beat Egg Whites until stiff. Fold into potato mixture. Do not over mix. This is a light but thick batter. Heat a griddle or skillet. ( I used a rectangle electric frying pan) . Brush with butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup drop batter on to griddle. Cook until pancakes are brown and then flip. Serve with sour cream. Here is a link that might be useful: Potato Pancakes

Love Collen to death but can't agree. I think the menu should be super simple but elegant for a New Years Eve...I'm guessing there will be a starter and a lovely dessert....and beverages Now a Sunday dinner with the trimmings would demand two sides..

424 SZ wine cooler door making horrible groaning sounds
Q
Comments (3)
kaseki, The 424 is now 15 years old (long out of warranty) I suspect the door has been opened and closed many times. :)) I called ZS as I was worried the door would either not open or worse case scenario fall off during the New Year's Eve dinner party. Not a good thing. The tech assured me it would not fall off or not open. He then emailed a detailed schematic and parts list. I think the thing to do is to replace the part. However, the door made it thru New Year's Eve and actually stopped the horrible sound. The part looks complicated and some of it appears to be plastic. Inga

Party_music, here is the recipe. It is from the Robin Hood Flour website. Apple Cranberry Muffins Like most recipes, even using the first time I made minor adjustments. Here is the link to the original recipe:http://www.robinhood.ca/.../Apple-Cranberry-Crumble-Muffins and the recipe with my minor adjustments. Basically using butter instead of oil. Adding a little salt and vanilla and subbing some sour cream for some of the yogurt. Source: Robin Hood Flour With some minor adjustments. Topping ¼ cup brown sugar, packed ¼ cup almonds, chopped 3 tbsp Robin Hood® Oats ½ tsp cinnamon pinch salt 1 tbsp Butter Muffins 2¼ cups Robin Hood Original All Purpose Flour 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup melted butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 cups peeled and diced apples ¾ cup cranberries, fresh or frozen Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line 15 muffin cups with paper liners. Topping: Combine all ingredients. Mix well in a small bowl. Set aside. Muffins: Combine flour, brown sugar and baking soda, salt in large bowl. Whisk egg, yogurt, sour cream , vanilla and melted butter in medium bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in apples and cranberries. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter. Sprinkle with topping. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre of muffin comes out clean.

Ann, the lobster looks great! Fun tradition for NYE. Funny how we want what we don't have locally. We frequently mail order King Crab for NYE. You eat quite a bit of seafood. Do you and Moe fish or go crabbing/clamming? It's a fun hobby and the reward is, of course, dinner.

DH fishes several times/month during the season and we go crabbing or dig for clams when the mood for linguini or chowder strikes. Once a year, usually in late July or early August, he goes tuna fishing for a week. DH also has a personal use lobster license. It allows him to maintain up to ten pots for $120/year. We never have ten pots in the water at once though 'cause he doesn't want to maintain that many and it's too much lobster for two people. Also, he's a fair weather lobsterman. (chuckle) If the long-term weather forecast looks rough - he'll pull the pots. If we do have extra we take them to our fishmonger and trade for whatever looks good. We have a Nordic Tug and a little lobster boat but that's not really necessary. There's always guys at the docks, at least here, looking for extra people to go fishing with them to help share the fuel costs. Anyway, just wondering if you fish? Here, frequently people that love seafood eventually want to drop a line in the water. The lure of the lobster pot is why we got Whiskey River, our first boat (a little 22' sport lobster).

Your dinner looks fantastic! DH hasn't had any pots in the water since Sandy. We've got our hands full without going out to check pots that we can't even cook the catch. :(

It is funny Tricia, we do eat a fair amount of seafood and yet I've never been a big seafood fan. I'll cook other fish, but there is only one fish that I really, really like and that is halibut. I do love our local dungeness crab and fresh oysters. And the local spot prawns with their very short spring season.

Neither of us fish, or are interested in fishing, but I might change my mind if I lived in your area and could have my own lobster pots. I was talking to someone yesterday from the east coast who said that lobster prices were really low right now.

Are you back in your house? I hope things are getting back to normal for you and that 2013 is a safe and healthy year.

That dish looks so beautiful and appetizing! I would have been so happy at your house, instead I had rare meat, not my favorite...

Looks good and it looks like my house. I steamed 3 live ones yesterday after a trip to the market. At $6 per pound, I was not passing them up. And the shells are in the freezer for a stock.

That looks delicious, Ann!

We had a similar dinner, snow crab legs and small lobster tails.

Prices have been reasonable, so I may go out today and get some more for the freezer.

Happy New Year!
