Thanksgiving was a HUGE success! Jenny, Mike and I all worked hard to make a delicious meal and I have to say we didn't disappoint. The turkey was brined all night and baked in an oven bag...so good. The potatoes (check previous post for recipe) were amazing. I tweaked the recipe a bit- boiled the potatoes with bouillon, cut the butter in 1/2, omitted the nutmeg and used rice mile instead of half and half. I also only put the puffed pastry on top. That stuff is so good- you can't go wrong. Jenny made some awesome cornbread stuffing, rolls, and FIVE pies (apple, pumpkin and chocolate). We also made some sauteed Brussel sprouts (with bacon, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar) and busted into a can of cranberry jelly. Oh yeah, and some chocolate-covered strawberries to add a little "quick sweetness" to the end of the meal. See why this is my favorite holiday??!!

What fun! I missed helping prepare the feast with you this year--we had so much fun last year (despite it all)! Hopefully we can create a feast together sometime soon, even if we have to invent a holiday like--"We're so happy to be hanging out and cooking day"!
