Chile Colorado
I did something wrong here. The directions said to DREDGE the meat in flour, which to me means to coat it on all sides. You simply cannot dredge 5 pounds of cubed roast in 1/2 cup of flour, so I used as much flour as it took to dredge all the meat. BIG BIG MISTAKE, don't do it. I ended up with, instead of sauce, a nasty red paste covering the meat. I will try it again soon, but this time I will only SPRINKLE a 1/2 cup of flour over the 5 pounds of cut up meat!!! It will be more like a seasoning than a dredging. I bet it will be terrific, because I LOVE chile colorado!

Turkey Soup with Slickers
The recipe is good. I was not prepared for the texture of the slickers. They are a little gummy and pasty, and sort of make the soup broth thick and pasty also. I am thinking that when I make this next time, I will make fewer slickers and that will help.

Rosemary Au Gratin Potatoes
I doubled this recipe for our family Christmas dinner. I modified it by doubling the garlic and rosemary, and by adding a layer of shredded Gruyer (sp?) cheese between top and bottom layers of potatoes, then the parmesean on top. In order to be sure the potatoes were sliced consistently thin I used an inexpensive mandolin slicer set on the thinnest setting. Everything turned out terrific. Rich, creamy, cheesy, and very 'special occasion'feeling. The leftovers stored and heated well over several days, also. Great recipe!
