Weight Watchers has a lower-fat version, Menolly, using egg substitute and light butter. I just happened to see it at their website today, so I thought I'd mention it.

Heh, I bet the WW folks didn't even consider whether their recipe would pass kosher muster....

Time for another game?
I'm going to revise the rules a little bit! The basic meal is level 1. Take any part of it you like and make a suggestion to spectacularise it, giving your suggestion a rating up to 5 (spectacular), for that particular bit.
At the end, we'll take the highest scoring suggestions and put them together to make the ultimate spectacular dinner! So instead of a competition, it's more like a co-operative. Does that make sense?
This is based, naturally, on the Christmas dinner I made this year!
What we will end up with on the plate.....
Roast pork and crackling.
Roast beef
Roast potatoes
Roast carrots
Roast parsnips
Roast shallots
Brussel sprouts
Broccoli
Mini Yorkshire puddings
Sage and onion stuffing
Level 1 (simple) descriptions - Meat is unwrapped and roasted straight out of pack. Roasted veg are done in oil. Sprouts and Broccholi are boiled. Yorkies and stuffing are store bought.

Roast pork and crackling: Just cut the skin (diamond shaped or rhombic). Place the the meat skinside down in a flat bowl with a bit of water to let the skin soak for a while. During the cooking process the water in the skin will evaporate and sort help the crakling to rise and get all crispy without getting tough as leather (a bit like puff pastry).
Roast potatoes: slightly pre-cooked, cut to wedges, roasted on a baking tray with olive oil, garlic, a bay leave, sage leaves, twig of rosemary, onions, lemon wedges and sea salt.
Broccoli: Remove rogue "h" from the vegatble. Then heat a knob of butter, put in same almnond flakes and let them carefully brown. Add cooked broccoli florets, toss in the butter and season with salt, a hint of sugar and fresh nutmeg. Works fro the Brussel sprouts as well, however a a few freshly grated truffle flakes would be perfect as well (as long as it's top quality truffle)
The roast veggies could use a dash of dry sherry.

Your wish is my command! I thought you were describing the stem of a floret or something!
