although mommy is working today ... we are looking forward to celebrating thankgiving with jack this evening.
the turkey is brined and dry ... ready for roasting and thick gravy
the butternut squash & crab bisque is creamy and cool ... ready for warming
the cranberry compote is a sweet-sour syrupy goodness
the skillet buttermilk-cornbread is crusty and golden
the homemade butter is smooth ... chilling in the fridge
the fudge is velvety and rich ... hardened and cut ...
and the other dishes -- green beans, asparagus, cheesy mashed potatoes and pumpkin chiffon pie -- are in progress ... mere hours away from gracing our bountiful tablejack and daddy spent some time this morning as mommy's official testers ... approving the food ... thumbs up to both the fresh butter and the fudge ...
and, as jack learned from daddy this morning, here's how you test the food ... you put some on your fingertip and then suck it off:
happy thanksgiving to one and all!
