Home entertaining and holidays are a natural mix. Domenica Marchetti’s “Big Night In” is out just in time for holiday ideas.She takes Italian way beyond pizza and into polentas, chowders, stews and vegetables in this book, subtitled “More than 100 Wonderful Recipes for Feeding Family and Friends Italian-Style.” Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:31:00 +0000 http://www.panews.com/darraghdoiron/local_story_350103101.html http://www.panews.com/darraghdoiron/local_story_350103101.html I embarrassed myself at the butterscotch haystack area of a local holiday party, and I never should have imagined pretzel sticks might be good dipped into a can of cream cheese frosting.

The family will likely include Christmas Salad, made with lemon gelatin, cranberries and nuts, on the holiday table.

Would you guess that a layered Italian pasta dish that takes hours to bake in the oven is lasagna? But, “The Amazing Trivia Game” is a book designed for all ages, which means fun on family night. Kids hate it when they’re too young for most of the answers. Here are some challenges from author Julian Biddle: Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:17:00 +0000 http://www.panews.com/darraghdoiron/local_story_340131846.html http://www.panews.com/darraghdoiron/local_story_340131846.html Marion Tanner said she’s still catching her breath over the success of Pour Les Enfants fund raiser. VALERO Port Arthur Refinery donated a surprise $100,000, bringing the total to a record-breaking $300,000, Tanner, executive director for The Garth House, said. “That’s the most we’ve ever made,” she said.

It’s no plum pudding, but it does sound like something that would tickle the fancy of a Southeast Texan if a Sugar Plum Fairy would deliver a jar full.Consider the recipe my gift to you, though it does come from Julie Biuso in a beautifully photographed book, “Sizzle: Sensational Barbecue Food.” Prepare for dishes such as Mango and Prawn Salad with Cellophane Noodles and Charred Zucchini with Mint and Vinegar.

I almost drank all the Newcastle Brown Ale and nearly didn't have enough to try some recipes from celebrity chef "Sam the Cooking Guy,"� who worked with Newcastle for tailgating concoctions. Imported from England, this ale is flavorful on its own. I want to try it with a corned beef sandwich. If you pick up a six pack, save one for the following recipe. My only regret was that I didn't have crusty bread, and used crackers instead. Maybe this is a dish to eat after your Black Friday shopping.

How does a cranberry relish made with beer sound? Fennel salt on your Bloody Mary? Ever shred Brussels sprouts?

Stay Quit Monday is a weekly affirmation on the day that symbolizes a fresh new start. It’s a project of the Healthy Monday campaign designed to refocus and recommit in the event of a relapse.Give it up, already!
