is when you have budino anderson here to
do some of the cooking in the crafts and
all the creative stuff yes
staying up late i used to stay up til
1:00 in the morning way to arrive it was
no problem now it's like 9 o'clock
[Laughter]
dinner for so we've got some great ideas
to keep yeah Lizzie and entertain while
you're getting the thanks that's right
and these little tips I'm gonna give you
on the food oh my gosh remember I used
to cook all day long like you're gonna
be done with these quickly so that's the
cool way so to keep the kids busy you
know why not make have them make some
dessert plates and these are just a
little China place you know any kind of
paper plates and these are just fun foam
sheets that you can get at any craft
store and then you just that's yes cut
them out and you could do pre cutting
depending on the age of the kids or make
them cut them themselves and it will
take longer and then we have the little
gobblers you know for the turkey and
then the beak and then just have a whole
bunch of wiggly eye so kind of play put
all this on the table so that they can
be doing this while you're cooking and
the nice thing is with these blue dots
you're not gonna get any glue that it
may stick to something but they are
sticky that's the whole point right
exactly so while he's doing that we're
gonna cook right so we have our
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wines and I
made a wine reduction caramel sauce and
a rum spiked white chocolate hot cocoa
it sounds fancy could just it was a
little tempted to be like my house white
chocolate is that really gonna be oh my
gosh it is amazing okay so you're gonna
heat up your white chocolate chips they
can be any brand and some milk and
vanilla and a little bit I used to yell
over them I love it you can get it here
in Texas and here we have so I want to
show everybody this is what it looks
like when you reduce your wine it gets a
little thicker so it's not just like a
poured wine and then you add it to your
caramel pan on the stove and it'll
simmer down to about 3/4 of a cup and
it'll be thicker so I'm do you want me
to pour this or you wanted or okay so
this is our hot cocoa and of course
all the alcohols cooking off so you're
fine James okay and you could add some
whipped cream to the top if you want
with a little bit of the caramel sauce
on top and you'll see the one that's
sitting over there because it looks like
it's kind of mixing up in here right
well it all settles to the bottom for
the pretty picture almost doing a jello
one two three things so there's one and
then gets you some mic you don't write
them too and then our stuffing here is a
wine reduction Apple onion and sausage
stuffing this is the greatest thing you
have ever me tell you and you know you
guys know I travel all over the place
right so I had to make some of this in
hotel rooms I made this in a hotel room
so it is the easiest stuffing anybody
can make it is that not the best finally
I can drink something with you it's so
good but those British wines are great
in the holidays because the Reds are
perfect with the spices of the holidays
so it really mix mix as well and then
our little treat here is a wine
reduction cranberry sauce on an orange
cranberry cheesecake and if you've never
done a wine reduction like that before
it just it's this I mean it's like the
smell of Thanksgiving and Christmas into
just this nice wonderful liquid but
confessional II have to make because yes
we do like to taste and eat and
everything like that so I had this
beautiful display well what we got down
below Phoenix is the potty came out of
