Same to everyone!
Frightening day for me. I've got double threats. Down 17 pounds on day 30 of my 2 month Nutrisystem diet ... and I've got the Italian friend's Thanksgiving banquet (unbelievable turkey lasagna!!!) at noon and then the family Thanksgiving banquet at 6! God give me the strength ....
Everything in moderation, well maybe except for that last "F" thing earlier in the thread. lol 
.
I'm coming to your house next Thanksgiving! lol Awesome menu, someomne there must be a Chef!Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Just sitting down after giving the kitchen a thorough cleaning. The menu consisted of:
The turkey barely fit in my oven, the rack was caving in, lol.
- 24 pound Turkey freshly slaughtered at a nearby farm. I dry brined it with rosemary, sage, thyme, garlie, salt and pepper for 3 days. It was so juicy it practically squirted at people when cut.
- Sauteed Brussel sprouts with bacon and bacon fat.
- Butternut squash risotto (italian thing on tday)...wine, shallots, parm cheese, butter...yum.
- Chestnut, apple, fennel, onion, pomengranate, apricot w/sauteed gizzards, neck meat, liver and heart. I call it dirty stuffing.
- Made turkey stock from scratch for the pan gravy.
- Roasted Root Vegetables (fingerlings, white sweet potatos, parsnips, carrots, baby reds)
- Homemade biscuits.
- Homemade Apple & Pumpkin pie.
- My mom made pizza (lol...gotta have something Italian on tday)
- Roasted chestnuts.
- Homemade italian wine (and lots of it).Woo hoo!!!!
