I can’t believe I completely missed November altogether. Oh well, how about a pictorial catch-up post on Thanksgiving?
ingredients…
Gingersnap crust (waiting for the pumpkin to go it) and the pecan pie and cranberry sauce.
Pecan Pie 
This is a Long Island cheese pumpkin. We had a very hard time finding any kind of pumpkin. Ryan managed to find this one at Whole Foods; it was the last one! It made an amazing pie. (I used this recipe from Alton Brown.)
Rolls.
Par-baked rolls waiting for their final bake. Pies and cranberry sauce waiting to be eaten.
The table setting
(Please excuse the matches, embroidery floss and scissors. We had some last-minute table runner adjustments going on. Also please excuse the bad light. We had a late dinner.)
And… the TURKEY! I literally had three separate nightmares about ruining the turkey the night before Thanksgiving. It turned out great, though. Very tasty, if I do say so myself. I used this recipe from Bon Appetit: Salt-Roasted Turkey with Lemon and Oregano.
Thanksgiving is always fun for me, but this year was especially exciting because I was hosting! I got to cook most of the food. My in-laws brought some veggies. We had a great time eating and visiting and even got to skype with Ryan’s brother and his wife who just moved to California. Good times. I am so thankful for my family. We get along so well and it’s always a joy to be with them.
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you cook anything daring and delicious?
