I have changed the menu so many times I am afraid I will forget to make something. Of course, I always have a list, but there have been times when even that didn't help.
I have the grocery shopping done. If I forgot something, too bad. I'll improvise. I need to get all the serving and cooking dishes out today and set the table. Then I can focus on prepping all the food. Oh, if I only had a sous chef. Here is my menu, the last and final one:
Cranberry Sparklers
Assorted brie cheeses
Candied bacon
Roast turkey & gravy
Sausage, Chestnut & Fennel Dressing
Mashed potatoes
Honey-orange roasted carrots
Roasted Brussels sprouts with pancetta and shallots
Cranberry sauce
Rolls
Brownie
Pumpkin Mousse
What time is dinner? LOL :) Looks like a great feast to be had at your place! This year has gone by incredibly fast. It just seemed November started and now we are halfway through it.

ReplyDeleteIt was just summer, wasn't it?? 😮 What a fabulous feast! 🍽️ Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🍗
ReplyDeleteI'm always thrilled by your menus, Denise. Maybe this will be the year I try Brussels sprouts. I know, I know, everyone says they're great, so much better roasted. We'll see.... Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI never tasted Brussels sprouts until I made them in a culinary class about 15 years ago. They were sauteed and incredible.
DeleteHaving spent many years cooking for a living I'd happily be your sous chef, so long as you fly me across first class!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...let me think on that.😉
DeleteSounds fantastic! We are looking forward to our own Thanksgiving. Judy makes a sage dressing we are all very fond of.
