Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
So, I have to confess. There is something about Thanksgiving that just brings out the crazy cook in me. We had this nice, sensible meal planned: Roasted brined turkey, gravy, stuffing and dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, roasted root vegetables, and cauliflower gruyere gratin, with apple pie and pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. There are only going to be eight people eating, so that should be plenty of food, right?
Well, I don't know why, but when I got up this morning, I flew out of bed and started cooking all these extra dishes!! So now, in addition to all of the above, we also have spaghetti squash gratin, creamed spinach with fried shallot crust, glazed onions, and broccoli with lemon zest! AND, when I called my Mom, whose house we are eating at, to confess my cooking largesse, she told me she was doing the SAME THING, and had already prepped green beans with buttered almonds, carrots with orange zest and cumin, and roast asparagus!!! For EIGHT people!! There must be something wrong with us.
At least we all like leftovers!
Have a happy holiday, everyone!
is done, but I'm worried about the stuffing. I think my mom told me the wrong amounts of ingredients. I haven't added the bread yet so I'm hoping once everything comes together it will be ok. Right now it's super salty and swimming in butter. I think I will drain some of the butter off before I add the bread. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be edible.
That was so sweet!!

) and the kitchen messed up our pizza order--put jalapenos on the whole pizza (my tummy can't handle it) so we got another pizza for free. SO we got lots of Tday and pizza leftovers to eat!
