Ready to gorge? This is round 2 for me. I had faux thanksgiving at my mom’s place last weekend. It is possible that I might O.D. on tryptophan after today is over. We’ve got 12 coming over, so I’m expecting tons of wine, football, and just hanging out. I think I read somewhere that the average thanksgiving meal is like 3000 calories. I could be making that up. I’m running a 5k on saturday. i doubt that will put a dent into it. Plus I’ll have an I.V. of red wine hooked up to me.
Here’s our menu:
Appetizers:
- Avacado & Tomato “mini sandwiches”
- Baked brie with carmalized apples
- Stuffed mushrooms
Dinner:
- Turkey (duh!) - 18 lbs. Cooked/stuffed with lemons (squeezed), Italian parsley, and sage
- Stuffing with sweet Italian sausage and celery
- Wasabi & Green onion mashed potatoes
- Regular, plain, boring-ass mashed potatoes
- Green Bean casserole (paula dean style)
- Sauteed Corn, peas and pearl onions
Desert (thanks Russ!)
- Cheesecake
- Coconut Cream Pie
Prediction: My coma inducing couches will tame this feasting crew. Plenty of left-overs and turkey soup on the horizon.
Bon Apetit everyone. Gobble Gobble.
