Today is the day to put on something that's too small.

Dishes from the December Bon Appetit That I Would Like to Make But Probably Won't

Chipotle Shrimp (afraid of deveining)

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup (don't know where to find Jerusalem artichokes, don't have a big blender)

Lobster Macaroni and Cheese (don't want to deal with live lobsters; don't want to really mess with a good thing anyway)

Moroccan Beef Short Ribs (too many ingredients)

Cranberry and Tart Apple Gelees (seem kind of weird, recipe calls for 100)

Gingerbread Truffles (very high potential for messing them up and then eating all the messed-up ones)

Standing Rib Roast With Porcini and Bacon Sauce (am afraid to spend a lot of money on fancy meat just to mess it up)

Dark Chocolate-Caramel Cake With Gold-Dusted Chestnuts (calls for edible gold dust)
