Title: What are you making for Thanksgiving?
Post by: erika on November 26, 2008, 10:16:03 PM
Yes, yes, I know... another food thread. But I love it!!

I'm in charge of some desserts this year:

- Dark chocolate cookies with semi-sweet chocolate chunks and dried cherries
- Mandel bread with chocolate chips, walnuts topped with cinnamon-sugar
- Butter cookies filled with apricot or mixed-berry preserves

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not sure why you'd harm a perfectly good cookie with a cherry...

I get to go to two Thanksgivings.  First at fiancĂ©e's parents' house, then at my sister's house.

She's going to help make dessert or something. I usually bring wit, charm, and sparkling conversation. We are also going to try to get rid of a giant turkey someone gave us, but which neither of us want to eat.

As a teetotaling vegetarian I'm a bit out of place on Thanksgiving, but I do like me some pie.

They also have a tiny bit of almond extract in them. They taste exactly like dark chocolate-covered cherries.

Sweet potatoes au gratin with bleu cheese.  And maybe a tart of some kind.

I don't know, I still think I'd rather just have the cookie.

I've had the urge to make a pie for a while, but it clearly isn't happening for tomorrow- maybe over the weekend.

I'm making Emma pay for her blatant disregard of American food laws. How dare you.

After that, I'm having what Jixby is having. Cook for me this year, other people, I got lazing about to do!

TURKEY.

I'm making a spinach quiche (sans Ostrich egg) and my new famous cayenne & curry pumpkin pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A stripped-down version of the standard meal:  turkey, bread stuffing with raisins and toasted pecans, a turnip casserole, gravy, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie w/homemade vanilla ice cream. 

Plus cranberry-onion relish.

cayenne & curry pumpkin pie.

That sounds awesome (and I don't even like pumpkin pie).

That sounds really good.  I made Spinach Croquettes and they were a hit!

I went to my girl's grandparents' place, so I made the "Indian boyfriend among a house full of retired New York Italians". It wasn't awkward at all.

I go up north every year and sit in the corner twiddling my thumbs while my wife's uncles and cousins talk about their deer hunting adventures. I usually end up sneaking off to play pool or video games with the kids... and then I usually get yelled at later for sneaking off.

The tart flamed out.  But the sweet potatoes were pretty good.
