This year, I am revisiting the basics. What I mean by that is, every once in a while, sometimes you have to stop and reminisce about traditions and your roots. This Thanksgiving, I want to do just that. I want to make some classic dishes and turn the heat up a bit Freaky Curry style.
Nothing fancy. Simple, classic and modern… Hmm.. Classic and modern..?!. I know what you are thinking.. Trust me, it’ll happen..
So this is my tentative menu so far. Let me know what you all think.
Cheese and charcuterie board
Tossed salad – Mixed greens, roasted artichokes, roasted pears , Stilton and a champagne vinaigrette.
Twisted sesame braid w/ Sage butter
Irish soda bread
Curry Butternut squash bisque
Fried turkey (rosemary sage brine)
Baked polenta and sausage stuffing
Marrakesh acorn squash
Twice baked sweet potatoes with roasted pecans rubbed with cayenne and maple
Green bean w/ a mushroom butter sauce
Fried Corn medley
Gouda and landaff baked mac n’ cheese
Sea Salt roasted potatoes w/pearl onions
Roasted roots: carrots, parsnips and turnips – rosemary honey butter
Drunken cranberry cake (Staple in this house!!)
Lemon pie
Pumpkin pie
Not sure how much of this will actually show up at the table but I will try ! I am going to start getting busy in the kitchen here soon… Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I thank you for being a friend and a supporter.
This post comes from the side of a highway in Queen city..I was in a wreck about 2 hrs back and am waiting for the towing truck to come get me out of this mess. I am doing ok.. the airbag did deploy and my chest hurts because of the impact but I am A.O.K!! so glad that no one was with me in the car..I think this is a perfect backdrop for me to post about the Things to be thankful for this year…
1. Good health of family
2. Good health of self 🙂
3. A paying job… Do I hear an Amen?!
4. A hobby to keep me sane
5. Roof over my head
6. Food on my table
7. Friends to share the food with 🙂
8. Sense of spirit and wonderment
9. Faith in humanity
10. Presence of mind… Well for the most part 😉
What are you thankful for this season?
Happy Diwali and Saal Mubarak.
