My first Turkey. Angelina was up from Texas for Thanksgiving. We missed the parade because of the bad weather and the burger hangover.We picked a menu from www.epicurious.com . Everything is made from scratch except the pie and cranberries. Everything tasted great and we had a lot of fun cooking together. Here are the recipes:
Celery Root Bisque with Thyme Croutons
Tom Colicchio's Herb-Butter Turkey
Mashed Potatoes with Garlic, Mascarpone, and Caramelized Leeks
Maple-Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Mulled-Wine Cranberry Sauce
Scalloped Squash, Red Pepper, and Corn Gratin with Cheddar Crust
Cornbread Stuffing with Ham, Chestnuts, and Sage
Green Beans with Wild Mushrooms
Australian Shiraz or Off-Dry New-World Riesling
Spiced Pumpkin Pie with Hazelnut Praline
Notice the fine serving platters, especially the one that looks like a cookie tray that was bent with a pliers to fit into the oven. The gravy-boat resembles [is] a beer pitcher from a UW-Madison bar. Also, how could something as disgusting as home-made gravy taste so good?

Seriously?!? After what you did to me yesterday? You are not getting a Christmas card from me this year.
Mom, as long as we're not making club or lutefisk, I'm looking forward to it.
Hey Toilet, if you promise to not be so cold in the morning I won't go to Jackson Hole again.
It remains a mystery...
How long does your #1 john have to wait for another blog posting? I got nothing to comment on these days. Maybe I should start taking the pictures and expose you for the brunette you really are!
There, I posted another one, thank you for blackmailing me.
