Or, you could take the Lawrence abbreviation of "STTM".
I have so much to blog! Gotta start somewhere, so here's our thanksgiving feast, because it's easiest.
Aaron fried two turkeys this year and they were delicious!! I wish we had taken a photo of him out there on the driveway, surrounded by Josh and his boys holding up huge sheets of cardboard to block the wind. Well done, men. Those birds were incredible.
I call this masterpiece "stuffing to the muffing". I started Wednesday with cornbread that I made from my own fresh home-ground cornmeal. It was diced, toasted a little, then set out to dry out overnight along with a loaf of dried out, diced,French bread,
On Thursday, I added sautéed onions, celery, fresh thyme, oregano, rosemary and a dash of parsley, in melted butter/chicken stock(6c) poured over the top. Then, we stirred in 2 diced green apples, pomegranate arils, and diced dried apricots. Oh hunni! 'Twas magical.
The rest of the menu was classic and simple made 28 of moms classic (butter) dinner rolls, apple butter, whipped Yukon gold (heavy cream) potatoes, gravy (from a can with TJ's 21 seasoning salute and garlic salt added), and corn. We were halfway through the meal before we even realized we'd forgotten to make the green bean casserole and homemade cranberry sauce! It was fine without though. My mom cooked a ham and everyone took a turn helping in the kitchen. It was like having a dozen soux chefs!
Homemade apple blackberry, triple berry, pumpkin, cherry, and French silk pies. Those didn't last long.
Dinner success.
