I cooked in total about two full days, okay maybe fifteen hours, and it was good. Jaybill and I did the turkey four ways: wing confit, bacon wrapped thighs, smoked legs, and deep fried breasts. For appetizers we had shrimp salad crostini, sekel pear with fig and blue cheese, and several delicious stinky cheeses from New Seasons, courtesy of Sasha, our friend who works there. As side dishes we had Gravy Bombs (above, the creative presentation of the week,) sweet potato crumble, roasted root vegetables, garlic mashies, and spinach salad with bacon vinegrette. Dessert was comprised of cranberry sorbet, apple pie, pumpkin pie and lemon meringue pies. and since it was Keri’s birthday the following day, I made her a cake. It was Kaluha Chocolate Flourless with toffee crust and White Chocolate Basil Ice Cream. I didn’t take too many pictures, but it was a great meal that we all enjoyed. I was souind asleep bt 10 pm.
Okay, I’m yumming on your Thanksgiving dinner. That cake looks especially wonderful.
