Thanksgiving Menu

[cookie_chef]

We're hosting Thanksgiving for part of my family this year and we couldn't be more thrilled! There are a few dietary considerations, so I've made some very minor tweaks from last year. Not sure if I'll get it all accomplished, but here is the plan:

Butternut Squash and Saffron Soup
Roasted Pear and Bacon Salad with Apple Ginger VinaigretteBrined

We don't get the boys this TG, I'm kind of bummed about that. But reading this, I just realized that dammit, I'm going to make Thanksgiving anyway, even if it's just us two!

Yeah, we won't have the kids either this year, but my mother, her husband and my two aunts are coming. Plus we usually have a neighbor or two over. Even if it were just the two of us, I'm insistent on making a Thanksgiving meal.

Neither of our kids can make it; we're too far from central, plus, they're creating their own families' traditions. I didn't (I was *just* too close to 'home') so I really do understand. They probably hated being hauled off to the grandparents on every occasion back then! But I will create a small feast for my husband and me (last year I got a great local fresh bird, and de boned it; I poached the breast for later sandwiches and salads- it's juicier that way- and spread out the dark meat to roll up around the stuffing (we like the dark meat better) We liked it so much, I'm going to do it again!

Very ambitious! Sounds lovely and delicious.

I don't know how I missed that pear and bacon salad post but I just bookmarked it. Not sure I'll do it for Thanksgiving but I will make it sometime.

Oooh! So many delicious things! I kind of wish we had Thanksgiving here.

After I mentioned your menu in my recent post, some folks are asking to see it. Do you mind if I crosspost?

[cookie_chef]

I opened the post up, along with the listed recipes if you want to link to it.
