Tips from the Trenches
How I Produced Festive Christmas Dinners as a Single Working Mom Working on, Yes, Christmas Eve, and How You Can, Too
Part 4
by Susan Dunn

Mashed Potatoes

Mash them and put them in a serving bowl. Then sprinkle just enough cayenne and parsley flakes for color.

Wait a minute, I forgot we've let the maid have the week off. Use mashed potato mix, plump it into those above-mentioned star-shaped ramekins and ... bingo!

Parfaits

Super easy, cheap, and very eye-appealing dessert. Can be done ahead.

X-rated Version: Fill fluted glasses with vanilla ice cream, egg nog, or peppermint. Drizzle green creme de menthe and chocolate over it. Add maraschino cherry -- red or green. If you use red cherry, add green mint leaf.

GP-rated Version: Use vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce, and sprinkle crumbled candy cane over it.

Trifle

Trifle is the original LOW MAINTENANCE dessert. There are as many recipes as there are people making it. Look at some on the 'net and you'll get the idea -- cold dessert, liqueur-soaked sponge cake, layers of fruit, jelly, custard (instant pudding in our case) and whipped cream.

We love it because it's like that old "dump cake" recipe, remember? It just doesn't matter that much. Soak that cake in amaretto or schnapps, add what you like, layer it ... it's got cheap ingredients, it's not familiar to a lot of people and they think it looks intricate to make, and ... the presentation!

It's so NOT FRAGILE. You're not worrying the fragile darling of a cake is going to fall apart, you're going to tear it apart, throw things on it and in the bowl ... you'll love it. You can also buy a huge brandy snifter type clear bowl where you can have fun layering it and observing! Recipes range from things like canned fruit cocktail to poached pears, chocolate cake, hazelnut ... anything goes.

Okay, if you use a tureen, put the trifle in a tureen. Then put a layer of whipped cream on the top, smoothing it completely (use a warm wet flat spatula). What makes it special is, if you use a white tureen, people will keep trying to "pick up the lid" which is the whipped cream, and there are fingerprints all over it and lots of laughs!

Vegies

Put chopped red peppers in among the peas, Brussels sprouts or broccoli; stuff tomatoes with hamburger, cheese, green peppers, parsley. Cut Cut stars out of processed cheese slices and place atop casserole.

MORE GOOD NEWS

If you did even 3 of these things, it would be "gilding the lily." Choose one or two. That's all!

I'm sure you can tell my philosophy has always been 'if I'm going to have to do it, I'm doing to make a party out of it.'

Enjoy!
