Five days to Thanksgiving.
Can you believe my store was out of parsnips? Hmmm...maybe this blog is catching on. Not to worry....the store is getting me some for Tuesday. I am making Tricia's soup as the starter for our Thanksgiving meal. I made it all by myself a week or so ago. It was good, a little too thick and frankly too parsnipy. So for the big day I am going to use less parsnips and maybe add a little apple cider to the soup.
Here is the menu for Thanksgiving Dinner.
- Parsnip, leak and apple soup
- Turkeys (one in the fryer, one on the smoker)
- Cranberry Chutney
- Brussels sprouts/cauliflower gratin
- Stuffing
- Mashed Potatoes
- Sweet Potatoes with Cranberry and bourbon sauce
- Kale with garlic/caper butter
- Mixed greens
- And of course rolls and butter and gravy.
Cooking starts tomorrow. Stay tuned for the play by play as I count down the days to Turkey Day.
Gobble! Gobble!
You are all on top of it and I am slightly in denial. I may be calling you this week. I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner too. And being the youngest of this family, it is something that has only happened once before and it was four years ago. I bought the turkey. That's a start. I'll be in touch.
