A few Thanksgiving photos.

Hello, all!

I figured that as we’re looking at the tale-end of the Thanksgiving weekend, I’d skip ahead a little bit and share a photo or two of what we were eating on Thursday.

Sadly, digging through my photos, I don’t have as many photos of the whole process as I thought I did. So as I post the recipes, there may be some recipes that are sparse on the photos. I apologize for that.

Anyway! On to the photos.

Grace & Young told us that these ribs are a popular party dish in Korea, though they are modified from an older party dish. The thinner ribs are part of the newer recipe. They’re called LA Ribs (LA something Ribs?) because Koreans who lived here in the US brought home these modifications.… Continue reading →

Photos of Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Short post, mostly to check in. Today’s been a lazy, happy day for me. Poor Bill had to work. First he had to work at work, then when he was done with work, one of his co-workers drafted him to work on her mother’s computer for several hours.

But her mother brought some delicious cookies, so it was okay.

I’m going to go wander off and stuff myself on leftovers with him now. I hope you have a good evening, and I’ll be back with the posting later.… Continue reading →

Happy Thanksgiving!

There’s a giant turkey coming to room temperature on my counter. In about half an hour I’ll put a baggie full of ice on it’s breast.

There are two pies looking (mostly) gorgeous on my sidebar and a lobster jello mold full of of (not very gelled) cranberry sauce. There’s less than perfect mashed potatoes in my fridge, but they’re quite pretty (our CSA gives us pink potatoes!). There’s also roll dough in the fridge to be rolled out and shaped (“and dunked in butter, apparently”:http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/11/parker-house-rolls/).

All that’s left for this household is sweet potatoes (some preparation; I may change my mind at the last minute, depending on the mashed potatoes), making the dough into rolls and roasting a turkey. I think. Oh, and cooking up some brussels sprouts.… Continue reading →

Thanksgiving prep

Today is the big push for making Thanksgiving recipes. Tomorrow I’ll roast the turkey, of course, but I’m going to try to get a lot done today.

So I thought it would be fun to have a ever-growing post about cooking for Thanksgiving. Kind of like “live tweeting” the event, but less prone to losing me my few twitter followers and a larger character limit.

The goal for today:

# The mashed potatoes
# One pumpkin pie

# One apple pie

The maybes for today:

# Cranberry sauce
# A second pumpkin pie

Tomorrow we’re looking at turkey, brussels sprouts with garlic, roasted sweet potatoes and celeriac (and onions?), and rolls.

I wonder what I’m missing.… Continue reading →
