Good food, good wine, good company. I love Thanksgiving! I have been cooking thanksgiving dinner for 17 years or so, with a few years excepted for various reasons. It is my favorite holiday - it reminds me how much I have to be thankful for :-) Most of the family comes for dinner. Here are some pics:
The Menu:
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry Relish
Sweet Potato Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Creamed Corn
Dinner Rolls
I stuffed and cooked a 23# bird (Butterball) - it was just enough for our crowd of 13. The stuffing was traditional herb with some chopped onion and celery - prepared with chicken broth and butter.
Mashed potatoes, I boiled apprx 15# of potatoes and mashed them with butter and heavy cream, salt and pepper (yes, if you want the most delicious mashed potatoes, you have to use cream and real butter.)
Mom brought the cranberry relish, made with cranberries, orange, sugar, and a secret ingredient.
Sweet potato casserole - yams mashed with orange juice, brown sugar and walnuts, topped with marshmallows.
Green bean casserole - french style green beans, cream of celery soup, topped with french fried onions.
It was delicious!
