I was the primary cook and made the traditional dinner my Mom would have done:
Turkey with Sage dressing
Mashed potatoes
For dessert, Icebox cake.
Other contributions included Kelly's amazing Cranberry "relish"
Saira (from next door) slow braised a Leg of Lamb
Sweet Potatoes
Heather and Amy brought a slew of various Vegan dishes
Corn on the cob and Rolls
It was a lot better than yesterday's dinner, that's for sure.
Afterwards, the kids treated us to a dance and fashion show that was a blast to watch.
Lastly, I just wanted to say thanks Mom. You weren't there but your years of slaving in a hot kitchen and what I learned by watching (and eating!) were enjoyed by everybody. Happy Thanksgiving Ma!
What a beautiful turkey! That spread sounds delicious, you awesome cook, you. I kinda missed the traditional mashed taters and cranberry, but roasted potatoes are a fine substitute, as was my wacky "tropical" fruit salad (a/k/a whatever fruit I had in the house: pineapple, clementines & fuji apples). Happy thanksgiving to you! Tell Heather & Amy I said hi.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. It was a fine meal. The wacky fruti salad sounded wackily yummy. I will definitely say hi to H and A for you.
