    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.)

    So happy holidays to those who celebrate and those who don't for Turkey day!
