So, I accidentally on purpose invited a ton of people over for Thanksgiving. I love making big meals, especially when I'm allowed to use as much butter and cream as I feel like using.
The menu, carefully selected by the host with the most (me), is compiled and in pieces in the fridge.
We're having:
Turkey (obvious? it's 21 - yes, 21 pounds)
Gravy
Cornbread and sausage stuffing - it's more of a dressing, really
Green beans with toasted almonds and garlic
mashed potatoes
sweet potatoes with marshmallows (husband's request, I'm not a fan of the marshmallows)
Cunningham Family Cranberry Fruit Compote (recipe to follow)
Apple Pie (the same as my lattice top pie, which was a hit!)
Pumpkin pie
And one of my lovely guests is bringing a sweet potato risotto.
On to the good stuff... the actual cooking!
Today I am going to make the cranberry compote, cornbread, and my pie crusts. Tomorrow is a pie day (I need to make extra for my husband's coworkers who are stranded at the office on Thursday), and Thursday is the mega-cooking fiesta of turkey, potatoes, green beans, etc. I'm extremely thankful to have two ovens!
As soon as I get it together, I'll post progress photos!
