Happy Thanksgiving to all! Be sure to enjoy your celebration, don't make it all work, and raise a glass to Mike and the great job he has done with this board.

Happy Thanksgiving to al my MC friends! My last Thanksgiving was in '95 in LA - I think it's the American holiday I miss most. So live it up and let's hear some stories about unthawed turkeys and soused relatives!

Tim, I just noticed your avatar (I'm new to the board) and I totally remember the glass house restaurant. How cool to see it again.

If you remember the Glass House you must be joining me in our "senior member" bracket. Ha ha. I think I only ate there once as a kid, but as I've posted elsewhere what I really remember about The Glass House is the "Only 17 miles to the...." signs coming up 421 from US 30. We'd always come that way coming back from my grandparents' place in Ohio - and after six hours in the car we were real happy to count those miles! |

As a side note, I mention that this will be my menu for the next week or so...except the desserts, they are disappearing rather quickly.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I like the menu Roger. My wife and I did most of the cooking in a catering style. (we were chefs in a previous life) We brought everything over to my parents house and had everything completed, less the turkey. Basically I just had to cook the bird and warm everything up. It was fun sitting around with friends and family tellings stories from the past, debating the future and just enjoying one another's company. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have wanted to be able to do that. How did you warm up the food on site?

We made just about everything at home the day and the day before thanksgiving. The sauce which yesterday I thickened to make it a gravy was actually made Sunday.
I brought everything over in Le Creuset cookware (2nds from Lighthouse Mall) which are nice enough looking to be used as serving dishes. After I was done cooking the turkey, I took it out of the oven to let it rest and all the sides were then put in the oven to warm up at 350 for about 1/2 hour. I carved the turkey, put all the meat in a chaffing dish, then took out all the sides and lined it up so everyone could do a self service. It worked out quite well and kept my Mom out of the kitchen so she could enjoy herself. One of the desserts we made were individual pumpkin souflees. So after we were done eating, I whipped the egg whites up and that was the end of my thanksgiving chores. |
