I decided to fore-go the traditional menu and go all out with the cooking today: *Cranberry and Orange Conserve (recipe posted in recipe forum) awesome and easy *Citrus and herb turkey stuffed with cranberry/tangerine dressing *Bananas sautéed in lime and Cinnamon *mashed sweet potato blended with banana, cane syrup and pecan *cucumber and tomato salad *Bourbon Chocolate pecan pie
For the want of my own airplane, laments. What time is dinner? Where is the recipe forum? I bet you have some great ideas.
Um, yeah so I had EVERYTHING!!! Turkey and dressing, mac n cheese, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, collard greens, fried corn, candied yams, purple hull peas....Hmm, that sums up about everything I ate. Wait,...desert....Pumkin Cheesecake, apple pie, cherry pie and pecan pie. Yeah my lil ass ate all that...My stomach hurts-bad.
We went with the standard fare...cornbread dressing, roasted turkey, and brown n' serve rolls. Not overly complicated, other than it was my first time cooking all of the above. I missed my mom's casseroles, but there's only so many hours in the day! All of it came out great though! In fact, I think I need a samich. Oh, and some deep dish apple pie and vanilla bean icecream...
Smoked ham from Grayson's, sweet potatoes, cornbread dressing, green salad, asparagus. Cherry pie from Lea's for dessert.
