feast prep
We'll have a for-us traditional feast:
Roast Turkey and gravy
chestnut stuffing
mashed white potatoes and baked sweet potatoes
whole cranberry sauce and also the jelly stuff that comes in the can
dinner rolls
deviled eggs
2 savory rice rings1, one with buttered rutabaga and one with
Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pomegranate and Hazelnuts -- except I'm using walnuts because hazelnuts? really?
ambrosia -type fruit salad2
broccoli raisin salad (except mine is very plain, with no onion or bacon)
and pies -- blueberry crumb, pumpkin, and either a small cheesecake or apple pie.
There will be our household of 3 adults and 2 children, and Sam, Kayla, and their daughter Torrin, and Stoner Dave from down the street -- a total of 6 adults and 3 children.
1) with a hand grinder, grind up a 1.5 lbs of white mushrooms, 2 green bell peppers and 1 red, and two medium white onions. Prepare rice, with 3 cups long grain rice. While rice is cooking, saute ground veg with 1.5 sticks of butter or margarine. When rice is done, let it cool a bit, and then mix veg well with rice.; salt and pepper to taste (best if you make it a little on the salty side) Butter 2 ring molds and fill with rice mix, pressing gently. If doing the day before, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bake in a water bath (cover rings with foil) at 350 for 1 hr; I place ring in something like a cast iron skilled and fill the skillet with water. Fill rings with your favorite vegetable.
2) The crazy people I live with don't like coconut or nuts in anything. I'm throwing this one together with a couple cans of peaches, some canned pineapple, pears, and some canned sour cherries. And mini-marshmallows.
