Wanted: Sous Chef. Lousy pay, good working atmosphere.
I think it's official that I have outdone myself. We had a fantastic Thanksgiving; got to spend it with friends, as usual, and between myself and Master Turkey Roaster Adam, we kicked out a pretty good dinner. I also made a lot of things with leftovers, and ended up cooking today to take food to two women in town who just had babies (it's a thing our food co-op tries to do-- everyone volunteers to make one meal, so that the new Mom doesn't have to cook for a week or two).
So, the grand total is:
-Thanksgiving Day-
stuffing (lots)
3lb ginger sweet potatoes
green beans with almonds
pasta shells stuffed with almonds and pumpkin
butter rolls (from scratch)
cranberry-orange relish
cheesecake
-Friday-
Buttermilk Pancakes
Sausage
-Saturday-
Buttermilk Waffles
Fried Eggs
Turkey soup (I even made stock from the carcass!)
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
-Sunday-
Pumpkin Scones
Cranberry Scones
Black Bean Quiche (3 quiches; one to keep, 2 to share, with crust from scratch)
My kitchen is a disaster and I am exhausted and covered with flour.

Oh my God, can I please come over to your house for dinner? I'll happily clean up and do the dishes.

Ah, it's not like that every day around here, believe me. These were extra-special circumstances. But, if you were to come, I would certainly prepare something special...
And help with the dishes is always appreciated. :-)

Don't let her fool you, Carol! Melissa's cooking, even on a "low-key" day, is always amazing...
