Turkey Day 2007

Well we are finished with the main meal.  We'll have dessert a little later.  Our meal was fantastic! 

I got the turkey at Trader Joe's and I got a fresh kosher turkey.  It was just over 12 pounds. I followed the recipe for Roast Turkey in the America's Test Kitchen Cookbook and it was perfect.  Moist and tasty and easy.  I also used the cookbook for the gravy and it was delicious. 

Since there were only the 2 of us I had a simple meal.  I made bread stuffing (bread, sausage, celery, onions, fresh parsley, fresh sage, butter), mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, opened the can of jellied cranberry sauce and sliced it (husband's favorite) and I had fresh cranberry sauce from Trader Joe's (yes, I added Gran Marnier to it).  All was good.

We haven't had dessert yet, just a little full.  I made a pumpkin pie and an apple pie last night using the America's Test Kitchen cookbook, both look good.

For breakfast this morning I made graham pancakes from my new favorite cookbook (Test Kitchen) and they were very tasty.  

Just relaxing now and looking forward to an entire relaxing evening.  No knitting tonight, I had wine with dinner and that is not a good combo for me, it always leads to unknitting!

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
