Good evening, and welcome to my Thanksgiving play-by-play.
First the menu:
Breakfast:
Croissant breakfast sandwiches
Snackies throughout the day and hors d'œuvres:
Grapes
Pear and apple slices
Crackers
Hard salami
Port Salut cheese
Camembert cheese
Manchego cheese
The big dinner:
Roasted turkey and gravy
Honeybaked Ham (Coach Stu gets this every year - he insists on having it)
Oyster stuffing (shit! I forgot to buy mushrooms!)
Apple sausage and slivered almond cornbread stuffing
Green beans with almonds and persimmons
Mashed potatoes
Macaroni and cheese
Baked sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon
For dessert:
Pumpkin crème brûlée
Apple pie
I was very unmotivated earlier, and didn't get home from shopping for Thanksgiving until 9 p.m. tonight. I have to start the pumpkin crème brûlée tonight so it can chill. I also am making at least one pie if not two tomorrow morning, and then the turkey goes in the oven. So the crème brûlée is in right now.
I have a confession. Food has been falling in my lap this week. Not only did I not cook my own pumpkin because my mom gave me two huge cans of pumpkin today, but I also have pie dough in my fridge she gave me, and a tray of mashed potatoes and a tray of macaroni and cheese in my freezer that were untouched leftovers from a school function. I usually insist on making everything from scratch, but it was hard to turn any of that good fortune down.
I will make and effort to update this post and link to recipes if I got them from online.
