Prologue: Thanksgiving weekend, our last meal
November 27th, 2008 by jack
The old kitchen is scheduled to be demolished on Monday, December 1, the Monday after Thanksgiving. We’re taking one last opportunity to have a big, Anne-cooked meal before we have no cooking facilities for two months. There’s a small, 8-pound turkey, bacon-leek stuffing, buttermilk mashed potatoes, corn pudding, cranberry sauce, a couple of cheeses, butternut squash-goat cheese turnovers, pomegranate martinis, and an incredible triple-silken pumpkin pie. All of which has to be eaten by Sunday night, after which they take away the fridge.
Here’s a look at the goods:
Appetizers and pomegranate martini
Butternut squash and goat cheese turnovers
Pumpkin pie and homemade molasses and ginger snap ice cream
