pumpkin pie in the oven :D
every year, my plea is the same: my kingdom for a bigger kitchen. or one that doesn't ramp up to 'temperature of the sun' whenever I turn on the oven. :(

all that's left is sweet potato/apple gratin
I think this is the most relaxed I've been before thanksgiving yet! Changing up my pumpkin pie recipe to a simpler one really made a big difference in my timetable.

strata - in the oven (bacon, gruyere, some super stale bread)
still left: butter rolls (i make these 1x a year only on thanksgiving but they are soooooooo good)garlic herb butter (this is easy obvs)oh and lunch and turkey + sauteed green beans with almonds and orange zest (green bean casserole is not edible imo)
lunch = crackers + cheese (4 kinds) + baby lettuce salad with pears, bacon, gorgonzola, and some kind of spiced nuts that i'm not sure i even have) + fancy beer
i guess i must enjoy spending all day cooking because i do this every year. i hope i can find the cheesecloth.

i haven't even started thinking about the turkey yetbreakfast and lunch are cooked, eaten, and cleaned up after
i think i hate the idea of eating everything at once, so i just spread it out as much as possible so it's a FULL DAY OF COOKINGEATINGDRINKING.

Thanksgiving leftovers will conclude today with a turkey/cranberry sauce/deshi chutney naanwich.
One of the weirder things I made with leftovers were these little potato pancakes with mashed potatoes1 eggdal palak that i bought on the monday before thanksgiving to last me through the days leading up to Thurs
in other words, mashed potatoes + old leftovers, and it was really really good. not very appetizing to look at, unfortunately, but rather tasty considering the circumstances.
apparently i like to talk about leftovers.

it's that time again!
i refuse to make a boring turkey because that is not what i want to eat so i am making gumbo instead and it will be spicy and delicious. also making trad butter rolls, pumpkin pie, something with pears, and something with lavender because that's what i do every year. i have not shopped and have no timetable.

We will be on the road in Texas for T'day and will likely seek out brisket in lieu of turkey.

Made cherry pie yesterday, today it’s gumbo* butter rolls w herb butter, lightly sautéed green beans then pie w ice cream for dessert. Cooking for 4. * I’ve done this for about 15 years bc it’s easy to procure ingreds, I’d never make a dark roux on a normal day, and it’s the only thing my dad ever cooked and he passed away in May. It’ll maybe taste different today.

The turkey went in the oven at 1pm; should be ready and resting at 4:30. At that point I start the potatoes (peeled and in water on the stove top) and put the fish (for my sister) in the oven. The asparagus is also ready for a quick steaming.
My guests are scheduled to arrive around 4pm; my mother's stuffing goes into the oven to warm up.
Officially everything is planned for 5pm, but my guests have not been fussy in the past. And a good thing; while I've done this before, so much of this has to be done at the last minute.
