Food coma approaches
In addition to slogging away on Yuletide, I've begun the Thanksgiving prep. This year, I am departing from the seminal, outstanding 1994 Bon Appetit and branching out a little:
Vegetable stock (with not quite so many ingredients) (for the stuffing)
Epicurious turkey stock (for the gravy -- which is just a standard flour/roux)
The Bitten Word Tart Apple Chutney (this one made the dog drool)
Cranberry pear conserve (I had some for dinner)
Pioneer Woman stuffing (I'm making the cornbread tomorrow)
(This is the one I normally use and I really recommend it -- from that classic 1994 Bon Appetit)
Alton Brown Turkey
Pioneer Woman butternut squash puree which I have made before and is delicious.
I normally do the Cook's Illustrated Apple Pie with fool proof pie crust (vodka is the secret ingredient) but have been thinking about doing some sort of apple puff pastry thing.
I need to bake some cookies... Better Homes and Gardens has become one of my go-to places for cookies. ZOMG, so good. Also pecan tassies but with added chocolate which are a BIG favorite with the Mother and sister in law.
