I really like Thanksgiving food. I think it might be because it's one of the few times in the year where, as a culture, we really eat with the season and celebrate the harvest. Since my mom has the monopoly on cooking during actual Thanksgiving day, our nuclear family has started a mini-tradition we call pre-giving where we cook the same recipes.
On the menu was:
- 14 lb. Apricot glazed turkey
- Duck fat potatoes
- Shallot and onion gravy
- Ginger and garlic cranberry sauce
- Italian sausage, leek, apple, cellery cranberry stuffing
- Salad
We invited friends (who brought yummy stuffed cupcakes) to share in the fun. We ate them too fast to take a picture. :-/
One of my favorite things about this menu is that I got to use parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme ... all from the garden.
