Because I am insane,

[janradder]

I prepare an eleven course meal for Christmas Eve each year, and because it's eleven courses, I usually start cooking it at the beginning of December. This year, though, I've decided that I'd like to enjoy some of my December and not spend it cooking the entire month, so I've started making some of the various holiday treats early. Also, because I've started early, I thought I'd post the recipes. Tonight I made Krupnik, a honeyed vodka drink that is traditionally served warm (though it can be served cold as well). Since I posted this recipe last year, I'll just provide a link to it here. If you like it a little sweeter feel free to add more honey. Likewise, decrease it if you don't. You can do the same with any of the other ingredients as well (I often add a little more lemon peel than the recipe calls for. Same goes for the cloves.)

11 courses? 11 courses or 11 dishes? 11 dishes is not bad. 11 courses is... pathological.

No -- courses. And yes, you are right -- it is pathological.

He is not kidding with the "insane" thing.

But some of the courses are, in his defense, one dish. Right, Jan?

Well, one dish as in it's soup. Or fish. Or cabbage rolls. Or pierogi. Any one of which could be a meal in and of themselves.
