Happy Thanksgiving to you, Sherry8 and to everyone else celebrating the day. I started taking pictures and I will try to get them posted. Yesterday I made:
turkey stock
jelled cranberry with grappa
traditional pumpkin pie
pumpkin and marscapone cheese pie
Today I will make:
Turkey with rustic Italian stuffing
Gravy (of course)
Potato and garlic puree
Asparagus (I have nice fat tender ones from Thailand- bless Thailand and their yummy asparagus. I have never had it before for Thanksgiving)
Roasted fennel and apple
Homemade bread (my Southern friends have biscuits but I can't make a biscuit to save my life...)
Relish plate
Cheese plate
Thanksgiving is a blend of Native American food, Italian and Irish food for us. I really should have included a pasta dish for tradition's sake but with my tiny (by American standards) stove, I have had to adapt. So the lavender, pear and cheese tortellini will be made tomorrow and served with whatever leftovers remain. (Which is always guaranteed with me because no matter how much I try to cut back on portions when cooking, the Girl Who Grew up in a Large Family wins over Miss Portion Conrtol.)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends. In honor of our friends KB and I made pumpkin pies and cinnamon ice creme. (i found 3 pumpkins at the store and grabbed them real fast)
So happy holidays to those who celebrate and those who don't for Turkey day!
