I finally get to cook Thanksgiving Dinner for my family this year!! (Now I am going to try and write this post without any exclamation marks.)
Reflecting on my previous post - Dream Thanksgiving and Christmas Meals - I find that my menu has not changed. I am sticking to the Pioneer Woman's Beautiful Brussels Sprouts, and my Mother's Party Mashed Potatoes. I am still going to have only two pies. My Mother is going to make her Apple Pie, and I am going to order Chocolate Pecan Pie from Great Harvest, along with rolls.
Questions to contemplate:
1) Should I order my turkey from Midwood Smokehouse? It comes smoked and is probably phenomenal.
2) What wine should I buy? Definitely on the list - two bottles of Biltmore Champagne, North Carolina at its finest. Should I take advantage of the Harris Teeter 15% of a half dozen bottles this weekend? Most definitely.
.
Elisabeth has awoken from her mini nap. Maybe I will just write mini posts now instead of waiting until I have a larger chunk of time. My appetite is back, and I have a lot to say.
(Also, I will throw away that Miso Paste in the refrigerator. I can't believe it has been over a year since it was purchased.)
