I hope that each and every one of you had an absolutely awesome Thanksgiving! Ours was a lot of fun, probably because we don't have any blood relatives in the vicinity, so our guest list is comprised of friends who share our farts and foibles, and are good-humored under most circumstances. We had 11 humans and 4 dogs. The feast began around noon and finished up around 10 p.m. We had turkey, ham, oyster stuffing (YUM!!! Check out the recipe in last week's Dallas Morning News Wednesday Guide section, bread stuffing, mashed potatoes (made with homemade creme fraiche, which gave it a little extra panache), mashed rutabagas (my new favorite veg), homemade focaccia and homemade rolls, broccoli cheese casserole, pumpkin pie and chocolate bourbon pecan pie. It was all totally awesome. Now, it would have been nice if the Cowboys won the football game we were watching, but considering that three of us cooks (and the dogs) napped all the way through half of it, well, . . . whatEVA! Great day.
And no, I do NOT go shopping on Black Friday, though I ventured forth timorously to purchase a needed item (ironing board) and then scuttled back home to prepare for the arrival of a friend from England.
Let the holiday festivities continue!
