Bella - where are the french fries? And what's for dessert?
PsychoAlice - yes. Libations. They're a good thing. A few years ago, we couldn't make it to my in laws until Thanksgiving day (awwwww....sarcastic sadness here) - and when we walked in, with all the cooking almost completely finished, my very wise bro in law handed me mulled spider nicely spiked with spiced rum. He's been high on my list ever since.
Let's see - my husband is downstairs right now, cooking up a storm (yes! it's true!), with his mother pointing and giving directions. Here, it will be
-Crab Artichoke Spinach Dip to Start (because really, before a rich meal, you need a fattening snack)
-Brined, Smoked Turkey
-Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (I had to LOBBY to get MP on the table 11 years ago...they insisted they weren't part of the "official" meal. Whatev)
-Sweet Potato Souffle, half nutty (yay!) half marshmallow-y (ick)
-Cornbread and Sausage Dressing (hubs is experimenting...this is not a tradition)
-Freshly made cranberry orange compote
-Yummy sauteed green beans
-Summer squash casserole (why? WHY?)
-Pecan Pie
-Pumpkin Bread Pudding
-Wine, lots of wine (sweet I'm afraid. My offer for a nice Pinot Noir was vetoed.)
Have a wonderful day, everyone! I hope none of you get stuck in the kitchen all day. And for those of you who are working...I feel ya. I'll be logging a few hours today myself.
