Cage free, hormone free, hopefully not taste free
Wednesday, November 22, 2006
Slept in to the late hour of 8:30am, rolled out of bed, into clothes on the floor and out the door to the supermarket. It was tank top day here as it was v. warm outside. Had a great day with the dogs listening to music and cooking. Here is tomorrow's menu:
Appetizers at 1:00pm
Flat Bread Crackers
White Bean dip
Saint Albray Cheese - from the Aquitaine region of France. It is soft and creamy like Camembert.
Wenslydale Cheese with Cranberries - Harder young white cheese from England.
Cranberry Orange Martini's
Dinner at 2:00pm
11lb cage free, hormone free, vegetarian fed turkey, brining as I type
Cheesy potatoes au gratin
Gravy
Cranberry Pecan Dressing
Lemon herb biscuits
Cranberry Orange Relish
Pumpkin Pie
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Jinnie (SIL) is also bringing several sides (green beans and sweet potatoes) and wine. It will be a feast.
The relish and bean dip are done, and I am making stock with the giblets for my gravy tomorrow. Later tonight I'm moving on to pies. Cooking can be fun when it is done ahead of time. Check back with me tomorrow at 12:45 though!

Wow! So so elegant, and yet so stuff-your-face yummy! You are the pinnacle of perfect hostessness! Wish I could be there to experience it!
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful to know and love a friend like you!
Other than the gravy that I made too thick and the chocolate pecan pie I refused to serve :) It all came out great!
And you are not the only one that is lucky, I am too!
