Thanksgiving

[jayfurr]

We went out to the local culinary institute's teaching restaurant for brunch and then came home and made a turkey breast, mashed potatoes and turnips, gravy, a loaf of cornmeal/whole wheat bread that turned out to rock when you put gravy on it, Hubbard squash casserole, and for dessert, an apple/currant pie made with molasses and homemade crust. caroleotter helped here and there as sous-chef because I've been bitching lately about how she "never helps". We didn't go all out because we'd already GONE all-out at the brunch. The main reason we cooked today was so we'd have leftovers. :)

Yes, we have pictures:

• the food
• the food with me in the background
• the pie

The turnips and potatoes were a little too ... I dunno, sweet. In the past I guess I've used yellow turnips and today I used a large white turnip. Not bad, just not what I was looking for.

Anyway, so much for the last few days of weight loss. I guess I need to ride the exercise bike on 'fat loss' mode for four or five hours tomorrow to make up for all this!

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
