HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Okay, okay so the soup's not really orange!

But the Orange Cat decided it was okay because of the orange table setting and, hey, OYSTER artichoke soup.

Ymmmm!

 

 

AND

for dessert:

 

 

TA DA

 

Candy corn, what else.  And that, for sure, is Orange.

Autumn Leaves

 



The Orange Cat loves autumn leaves.
As he wanders through them
He wonders ---
"What shall I have for dinner?"

...

It must be orange of course.

"Maybe I'll try the cheese roll
They brought home from Trader Joes.
It looks orangeish. Hmmmm..."

 

 

 

Yep, delicious.

 

Now to come up with a similar recipe to make at home.

Sweet Potatoes Orange

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a cast iron skillet, add 2 cups sliced sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup cranberries, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.  Saute until done.  Top with  fresh orange slices. Yummmmy for the Feast.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Make a "heart of the cream" dessert this year.  Use a special heart shaped mold.

But the Orange Cat prefers to have his heart orange, of course.  Either top with a simple Mango or Persimmon Sauce (perhaps swirled in a heart shape??) or use Orange Jello heart shaped cutouts.  Or just add a little bit of red and yellow food coloring when mixing and voila...................an Orange Heart for your Valentine's Day Dessert!

Stir together 1 lb of cream cheese, 1 and 1/4 cup of chilled heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or other flavoring of choice) and the food coloring if you are using it.

Whisk together until it begins to thicken, then pour into the heart-shaped Couer a la Creme mold, following the instructions for use. It will need to drain in the fridge for at least 8 hours. So remember you need to start your dessert the day before.

Happy Valentine's Day from your buddy the Orange Cat.
