HAPPY THANKSGIVING



I guess nobody liked the pool picture - just be grateful I wasn't in it!

I have just shopped for the greatest eating day of the year - tomorrow - Thanksgiving - so big here and yet nobody else does it.

Turkey is ALWAYS for dinner on Thanksgiving day with stuffing and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

I am substituting a pecan pie which I much prefer. Trouble is I have to make pastry which is not my medium. I am more of a yeast baker. I will show you the results if there are any.

I am considering cooking the turkey on the rotisserie but it is pretty big and I never tried it for a big bird before. Any suggestions?

We will have brussels sprouts - which they call brussel sprouts here - baby ones with pecans.

Roasted whole cauliflower too with olive oil and capers.

I got the recipes from M's magazines which I don't usually read - one is Gourmet Magazine the other is Bon Appetite. The November issues are always full of outrageous ideas for Thanksgiving dinner.

The pictures were trying to give an idea of how crowded and stocked the shops are.

Guten Apetit

Come off it!
Anyway,who am I to take the rise out of a yeast baker, whatever his medium?
May your bird be tender, your sprouts crisp & your pastry divine,
have a wonderful Thanksgiving - I truss that you are sharing the "big bird" with friends.

Have just been to see "Casino Royale", followed by a late supper with a rather generous glass of wine. Can you tell?

Roast the turkey upsdide-down until the last half hour, that worked really well for me (Have a look in the Nigella Lawson book called Feast for some ideas for Christmas that seems to be more or less the same meal.
Anyway, happy thanksgiving
 
I prefer the pool picture to the supermarket one!
