Happy Thanksgiving
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We stuffed ourselves silly.
This year, I tried to make everything from scratch. I made Mark Bittman's 45 minute turkey which came out great (except that it took over an hour),
We had Cornbread and chorizo stuffing (though I bough Mexican chorizo instead of Spanish chorizo by mistake).
Instead of potatoes I made mashed plantains in a nod to Uganda. We also had steamed cassava.
I made the dinner rolls from "How to Cook Everything"
The rolls came out great, but I guess everyone is a critic
We of course had Cranberry Sauce out of the can (The only way to eat it, anything else is an abomination) and Sparkly Cider. We had to have some kind of green so I cooked some swiss chard, but because it looked too healthy I sauteed it in bacon fat.
Overall we had a pretty good spread and we'll have leftovers for the foreseeable future.
For Dessert we have a Pumpkin Chiffon pie which I will begin eating as soon as I press the button to send this message.
