Default Thanksgiving prep...


Yep, working on it now since I redefined Thanksgiving to Sunday 29th to
match my schedule as well as my guests. The menu is almost the same as
previously posted, I only dropped the butternut squash soup from the
final version.

Last nights cook-a-thon:

- Wild mushroom soup
- Boston brown bread
- Cranberry and candied orange chutney
- Creamed spinach
- Cinnamon ice cream base

Today's so far:

- Sausage and mushroom stuffing
- Stuffing stuffed mushrooms
- Roast butternut squash and caramelized onion tart
- Corn pudding
- Pumpkin crème Brule
- Apple pie

Still to go today:

- Freeze cinnamon ice cream
- Orange roast baby carrots w/ honey
- Peas and pearl onions
- Acorn squash w/ wild rice and dried cranberry stuffing

Tomorrow:

- Roast turkey
- Gravy
- Roast asparagus
- Popovers
- Finish / heat side dishes

Almost like I had a clue...

My guest list has grown with two additions who are back in town early so
I can invite them now. This is good, it will save me from having to eat
three creme brulees since the minimum batch size is four.
