(New Yorker food issue is out! Best issue all year.)I had a work holiday yesterday, so I was able to do Thanksgiving shopping at Fairway in the middle of the day. Amazing, I tell you. Blissfully empty aisles, save for one rambuntious family of four that seemed to be using the store as a playground of sorts, complete with cart races in the cookie section.
Here's the menu I'm working on:
- Sweet potato, thyme and sage soup (with bacon sprinkled on top!)
- Ham rolls from my sweet mother-in-law -- have you had these?! Delicious.
- Cheese, crackers, pickles, olives
- Turkey -- brined or braised, that is the question right now, folks
- Cornbread sausage stuffing with chestnuts
- Glazed carrots and parsnips
- Turnips (my mom insists, icky though they are!)
- Smashed potatoes
- Cranberry sauce
- Corn and lima bean succotash
- Pumpkin crunch
- Apple crumble
- Pecan pie tartlets
I know I say this everytime you post about some amazing culinary feat, but your cooking skills really impress me!
ReplyDeleteWe are heading to Maine to spend the holiday with my extended family...so basically I'm looking forward to anything and everything my grandmother makes (really, it's all that good!).
Have a great weekend!
Julie, your feast sounds great! Neal & I have yet to finalize our menu, but I am looking forward to an awesome potato dish we saw on Everyday Food last Saturday. Pumpkin Crunch sounds delicious! But I've never made it. My mom also swears by margarine when she makes her chex mix.
ReplyDeleteAshley, the cooking skills really aren't that great - it's mostly from a boatload of enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteBryn, this is your year for pumpkin crunch. It's super easy to make; you will not be disappointed!!!
I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteMe either!!! I'm already curled up, eating pecan pie tartlets, watching the OC season one with you in my mind.
