Gobble Gobble
This is one of my favorite pictures from Thanksgiving a couple years ago. There wasn’t a burner to spare in the preparation for the feast.
Throughout the day the courses we prepared played musical chairs on the burner (not to mention the oven) until everything was completed to perfection.
A hearty, traditional meal was prepared. It featured ham (boiled in Guinness until it fell off the bone) and turkey, a savory stuffing with sausage, apples and sage, scalloped potatoes – three cheeses browned on top, gooey and hot, several vegetables, a salad with romaine hearts, croutons, nuts and dried cranberries, and cranberries – two ways – a classic jelly and berries with citrus.
Did someone say dessert? Who knows where the room in our bellies came from, but our indulgence was topped off with pumpkin pie and an apple cranberry tart.
The whole day of cooking, eating, and drinking with friends was a rare treat – I was truly thankful; what a luxury!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I hope that you find your burners full of food, your tables full of loved ones and your spirit full of thanks.
Gobble Gobble!
