For years now she has come to our house for any type of holiday, etc. We either eat at my house or we go out. We've never talked to her about it and she has never brought it up. We just stopped eating at her house. I'm shuddering at some of the memories.

Originally Posted By Sara Tonin Okay, this sounds weird, but I make pb&j brownies...mix according to the package...about half way through baking I take them out drop spoonfuls of peanut butter and raspberry jam and then swirl it and put it back in the oven...my kids loved them...also good made with peanut butter OR jam....especially raspberry.

First it took forever to cook, because in my infinite cooking wisdom, I purchased the lovely roast a few days in advance and put it in the freezer for safekeeping. *L* It didn't thaw as quickly as expected, but still turned out okay - just much later than planned. Second... I forgot to purchase the obligatory horseradish sauce to accompany (I ADORE the stuff... HAD to have it). Grocery stores were closed, so what to do... what to do? Take the sour cream from the 'fridge and (of course) add the handy dandy wasabi powder to it. Wasabi's made from horseradish, so why not...? Well, mainly because it was powder, so didn't blend worth ca-ca AND it's green. Very attractive and appetizing to no end - not. Heh. He married me anyway. (Thankfully, HE's a FAB chef! ;-)
