Thanksgiving foods
Nov. 26th, 2009 02:13 pmin case anyone is interested in what we are having:
* turkey. gobble gobble etc. (nothing special that I know of, aside from spices -- garlic and rosemary at least, don't know what else)
* bourbon yams. (best recipe ever -- orange juice, brown sugar, bourbon, spices, pecans, yams)
* homemade cranberry relish. (not a sauce, but a bunch of stuff -- fresh cranberries, apples, oranges, other stuff I'm forgetting -- chopped up)
* stuffing. (bread-based, with sage and celery and onions and, uh, other stuff)
* vegetable. (this is a slight bit of a war, between the sentiment that it isn't a Proper Thanksgiving without a classic green bean casserole and the fact that I am kind of sick of gbc, so it will most likely end up being either green beans sauteed in garlic and butter, or corn and jalepenos sauteed in butter; probably the latter)
There is also a pot of stock simmering, into which the turkey carcass will go to make yummy turkey stock, which will in turn be used for soups, rice, etc.
...writing this up is making me kind of hungry. (as is not having had lunch.)
