nonelvisLogging this here for my own memory as much as anything else:
That was more than enough food for six, but my god, how good it felt to be able to have a proper Thanksgiving meal again. Also, the lightly smoked turkey is going to make one hell of a gumbo tomorrow night, but that's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
columbina's responsibility. (If you'd like to cook along, here's the spouse's recipe writeup.)
- Cherry tomatoes stuffed with guacamole – do not do this again unless the tomatoes are much bigger, my god, what a pain in the butt no matter how good they were
- Cheese pennies, of which I have now made two batches in about as many days, 'nuf said
- Grilled turkey & gravy, bird butterflied, of course; a 12lb. bird on a grill in 50° weather took a bit more than 2 hours
- Vegetarian main: tater tot casserole, with many sautéed mushrooms instead of sausage
- Cranberry-tangerine conserve
- Cornbread dressing
- Roasted brussels sprouts with vegetarian fish sauce vinaigrette, all hail Bragg's Liquid Aminos
- GF biscuits
- Homemade pistachio-honey ice cream
- Mendiants with candied orange peel and walnuts, and hooray, I have enough chocolate and orange peel to do another batch
- GF cheesecake brought by my friend J
