Thanksgiving: Part I
Nov. 19th, 2011 03:02 pmPicked up my heritage turkey (and a duck, but that's not for Thanksgiving) and bread and so forth today. I've cut up half the bread into cubes and have it drying in a bowl. I don't think it looks like enough. The recipe calls for 18 cups of bread, and I've got more than that, but I think I will need more. It shrinks some when it cooks. And there's no such thing as too much stuffing, after all, not when the turkey's butterflied.
My plan is to at least start the stuffing and maybe get the turkey roasted tomorrow. I'll be using the cooked turkey and stuffing to make Turkey Stew with Stuffing Dumplings for Thanksgiving Day (which my parents may or may not eat, they are less strict about their vegetarian diet than they used to be). I've got the ingredients for sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes, so I can make those whenever (those are just for me, because i like them with a lot of butter). I'll be trying out my new pudding basin with Cranberry Pudding, looking forward to that. So much more relaxing when I don't have to try to wedge all the food into one day. Possibly less coma-iinducing, too.
