“On the Eighth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me eight maids milking…”
Of course any dish made on this day would have to be dairy recipe, utilizing milk or cream as a main ingredient.
That gives me quite a few options. I could go with ice cream, and use it for making sundaes, floats, milk shakes and malts…or even a banana split.
I grew up eating biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and the gravy used is a creamy milk gravy. Some folks leave their gravy plain, but I prefer mine with sausage in it, or made the way my mother used to make it – with chipped beef.
I also love cream based soups – such as cream of broccoli or cream of spinach…or a creamy chowder such as New England Clam Chowder, which is one of my favorites.
As can be seen, there are a number of choices utilizing today’s main ingredient. However, because it is chilly outside (we actually got a bit of snow this morning), I’m going to order myself a bowl of that “chowdah.” Then before I go to bed tonight, I will relax with a mug of hot chocolate milk, with plenty of whipped cream piled on top.
Stay warm, my friends.
