Tardy Turkey Day Greetings

December 4, 2010

Despite my tardiness in posting, we had a nice thanksgiving. Our main course was gumbo & french bread (here's the gumbo cooking)


I made delicious bean dip from Foodie Farm Girl's recipe. (It's not terribly photogenic in this picture, but we ate it before I remembered to get a better picture!


We also had pecan pie, squash pie, and soybean pie (yum).



(I ate squash and soybean for breakfast and lunch for days afterwards....)

Leftovers

December 5, 2009


This was a turkey-and-leftover-mashed-potatoes Shepherd's Pie. Just one of many incarnations of turkey on our table last week. The last of it went into some soft tacos on Thursday Night.

Thanksgiving

November 27, 2009

We had Thanksgiving up at our place again this year, with S's parents & grandmother and my parents. I always love to read about what everyone else has on their table, so here's what we had. (I neglected to take pictures of dessert...):

S. made antipasto


I made Smitten Kitchen's cheese straws (I halved the amount of pepper in the recipe)


My parents made some bread, and S's grandmother brought some rolls


I made some cranberry sauce


We mixed some sweet potatoes and roasted acorn squash together
(with brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, and about a tablespoon of amaretto...)


S. made mashed potatoes


I made some of Heidi's brussels sprouts
(I'm not really a fan... but this recipe made them the best I've ever had them.)


S. steamed some of our frozen green beans


S's grandmother made the stuffing/dressing


S. roasted the turkey

For dessert, we had glasses of Asti (thanks mom & dad) with frozen wineberries in the champagne flutes, rum cake (made by S's grandmother), apple pie (brought by S's parents), soy bean pie---tastes like pumpkin pie, I swear (made by my parents), and custard (yay! it used up 8 eggs!). We made the custard and I even forgot to take pictures of that. Oh well. :-) It was all delicious and plenty of fun.
