Thanksgiving: Mission Complete

This year's Thanksgiving Menu:

• Traditional appetizers: carrot sticks and pickles. Whether they get eaten or not, these are necessary.
• Salad
• Turkey: from Wallace Farms. Brined, stuffed, roasted....perfect. Definitely the most moist & flavorful turkey I've made.
• Ham Steak: (flop! Didn't defrost it, then burned it...tossed it out. Gotta have one flop/holiday, and this was it.)
• In-bird stuffing
• Baked stuffing
• Gravy
• Mashed potatoes
• Sweet potatoes & pineapple
• Green bean casserole
• Roasted Carrots
• Wild Rice
• Stella's cornbread
• Homemade Cloverleaf Rolls
• Cranberry Orange Sauce
• 2 pumpkin pies
• 1 pecan pie
• 1 coconut cherry pie (the experiment...recipe coming soon)

Mission for next year includes:

• All above criteria
• Don't forget olives
• Another pie or dessert
• Another vegetable
• New sweet potato dish
• Home made stuffing both in-bird and out-of-bird
• An experiment
• Wheat or multigrain rolls
