Has anyone ever gotten a turkey without giblets? I washed up my turkey today to get it brining, found the turkey neck, found something in turkey skin that seems like the heart (?) but no bag of giblets. I'm rather confused.
Crankin, shallot pan gravy sounds mmmmmm.
Not debbie downer. It's ok to discuss the truth, but I think even more important to discuss all year long.
I personally love a holiday that is all about a shared meal where we spend time being thankful and grateful. It is a lovely holiday.
So, after a day of cooking, I actually made:
Spinach Balls (to be baked after my half marathon and before we go to the in-laws)
Brown/Wild rice with onions, mushrooms, cranberries, and almonds
Whipped Sweet Potato--they could use a few nuts on top.....
Pumpkin Bread (I couldn't leave half a can of pumpkin sitting out!)
And...the pumpkin butterscotch cheesecake.
I am really excited to eat my dessert. I have been training really hard, tracking my nutrition, and skipping desserts....thus, I can't wait to sink my teeth into a good dessert (post race of course!) I will let you know how it turns out!
Looking forward to hear how some of the recipes go for everyone!
Chickens, but not turkeys.Quote:

Our non-traditional dinner was fabulous. All-you-can eat sometimes implies low quality but not at Ichiumi. It's mostly sushi/sashimi but there's lots of other food. The serving line covers almost a full city block, and the place was jam-packed at 5:30.
Before dinner I walked through a drizzly and gloomy Central Park looking for the hawk Palemale (didn't find him). I nearly always have a bike or scooter in Central Park and I realized I feel so much safer when I have wheels.
